So how do you help to heal the bitterness of the last presidential campaign. My friend Sherrie has the right idea. Make a giant batch of shortbread and a cup of herbal tea. Remember; "Butter makes everything better".
Sherrie is a master baker and has mastered the art of the perfect shortbread.
It may seem a little OCD but she uses a ruler to cut them all the same size. That way you can easily justify just one more small piece.
Ah Perfection. Feeling much better now.
Some fun facts about Shortbread.
The story of shortbread begins with the medieval "biscuit bread". Any leftover dough from bread making was dried out in a low oven until it hardened into a type of rusk: the word "biscuit" means "twice cooked". Gradually the yeast in the bread was replaced by butter, and biscuit bread developed into shortbread.
