When I raised the content of my blog I raised many doubts, and doubts not completed overnight, so I still have some. Although thanks how are you doing recipes shortbread , so they are and what they represent slowly doubts are removed.
Can you believe it. Were skeptical at first about doing a blog dedicated to marketing, communication, social networking … everything surrounding the so-called Food 2.0 . To talk openly about the Buzz or “noise” generated by many who give more importance to it, and only that, they actually generate content useful and valuable to the community.
Either way there is room for everyone in this huge world, for those who only make “noise” and for generating content. Sure, we could talk about the role of the blog, a legal form for companies and also for people that bring us their day to day. But as all this is just a showcase and to see what is on the bottom we only know the person.
What I am, I’m trying to show with my cookies , my petit four, my bread, my buns. Well, at least the sweetest part of me. Today it is the turn to this recipe for shortbread, which was the prize for the winners . There have been hard to get but time is money and lately I lack both, time and “gold”. With a sorry for the wait, start the recipe.
INGREDIENTS
-120 g cold butter into small pieces and
-200 g flour
-80 g sugar
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1 pinch salt
-For decoration you can use chocolate chips, sugar, walnuts, almonds, etc.
HOW TO MAKE SHORTBREAD
These cookies do not have any tricks. We just need to knead all ingredients together with the fingertips or with the paddle attachment of a mixer. The only thing to consider is that we should form a compact mass because otherwise we would be extremely hard biscuits. Knead until the ingredients are together, but it is as gritty.
Best to do this type of cookie, it must be said, is to make giant cake in plan, to which we before baking lines for easier then split them. Given the circumstances I wanted to send cookies of different sizes and portions .
The way I gave it with short pasta round, although you can use any short pasta. And instead of cutting the dough. What I did was fill with the dough, as I said crumbly, and tightened. Disadvantages: will not flat at all. Advantages: look more like home yet.
Coverage about them I put some chocolate chips, other sugar sprinkled without further and other nuts in half. Although alone, are also great.
Finally the cookies , with their rings and baking paper at 180 ° C for 20 minutes or until lightly browned, but almost white. This is very important because if we had also to take a stronger gold, the cooling will be hard as a rock (I know from experience).
We take, let cool about 5 minutes, remove and let cool rings over a grid, so that moisture will not reverse the “tin” the oven. To keep the shortbread for several days it is best to store them in airtight jars. It lasts for several days.
