Yup, I've made shortbread. It isn't traditional, but neither am I ;)
*iPod playing: "Room to Roam" by the Waterboys (1st cd of collector's edition)*
I swear, I do listen to other bands...earlier in the cooking day I had on The Beatles...(that recipe will be blogged eventually).
Lavender Shortbread
1 1/2 cups of flour
1 1/2 tbs dried (organic) lavender
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
juice of 1 (small, organic) lemon
1 cup softened butter
Mix ingredients together (with a wooden spoon) to form a dough, put on wax paper and roll into a log and chill for 30 minutes.
Slice cookies and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment and bake in a 325 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Let cool and store in sealed tin :)
*I think the music helps the flavor...you put all that energy into whatever you cook and it comes out in the flavor. To quote Lafayette from HBO's True Blood: "You put a little love in your food and the folks can taste it...."
