Comment préparer The Confederate Widow's Shortbread

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
  3. Add the flour and salt to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle or circle. Use a bench scraper to create even edges.
  5. Cut the dough into desired shapes (squares, diamonds, rounds).
  6. Place the cut shortbread onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
  8. Let the shortbread cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy!
