Several years ago shortly after being introduced to RecipeZaar I made a decision which I have followed without regret ever since. The decision: when faced with the dilema of choosing from similar, and highly recommended recipes, if given the option — always go along with MizzNezz ! I have never regreted the decision, so — thanks once again MizzNezz. I believe I could come up with lots of "touch-ups" to add to the shortbread, but I am a firm believer in Aaron Copeland's theory of artistic expression -less is more! So why try fixin' something that ain't broke?

Excellent shortbread recipe! Simple is best. It's also a great base for shortbread variations. Add lemon zest and juice for lemon shortbread or dip in whte chocolate. But absolutly great just as it is with a cup of tea!

Simple, easy and tasty. I put everything in a food processor and pusled until it became doughy, then pat it in a pan.
