Shortbread is the Zen of cookies . It's simple but complex . The textures and flavors are co-dependent upon each other for the end result. Just a few ingredients are needed for a classic shortbread. For incredibly tasty shortbread buy some higher fat butter . Most American butters are 80% butterfat, European butters are 82 -85%, i use a Kerrygold Irish butter or really any higher fat butter. Try to find a local source for your flour as the taste is always better. Sugar is there to support not to overwhelm . Some folks like to use brown sugar, others swear by powder or icing sugar, and still some use plain white. Good shortbread is contingent on the ratio of all the ingredients , the right temperature of the dough, and the amount of mixing ( over mixing makes the cookie tough ). There are just too many shortbread variations, and recipes to count . They all have their certain nuances and people swear their shortbread is the best. Now here's the best shortbread recipe

Yesterday's celebration continued into the evening.... I made a Greek dinner for my daughter in law... it was her birthday.
First a couple of shots... and a bit of cheese.
The appetizer was Tiropita; a Greek cheese pie.
We had Pastitsio and salad for the main.... accompanied by Retsina wine.
And Galaktoboureko for desert; which is a filo wrapped custard with a lemon and cinnamon infused simple syrup.

The moon drop grapes are great. I also like the cotton candy grapes which are a newer variety, I think.
My favorite grapes are scuppernong.

Well enquiring minds need to know . How was it ?
Well... it did not taste like I'd hoped. I was hoping for the 'cider mill doughnut' flavor.
It's good... and the flavors are more intense the second day. It's a nice moist cake... just not what I was looking for. But close lol.
For those who may be interested, here's the recipe.
A bit of Polish fare…. Brats and pierogi
