I learned to make this at a local tea room.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2 cups flour
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream butter.
3. Mix in sugar, almond extract and flour.
4. Press in pan. (I like to use a stone pie plate).
5. Take a fork and poke lots and lots of holes in the shortbread all over. This step is essential to the shortbread.
6. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
7. When cooled turn out onto wax paper and cut. I cut it like pie slices.
8. Enjoy with a cup of Earl Grey hot tea or your favorite.
