640. Shortbread Since starting this blog, I have lost count of the number of times I have eaten shortbread and not posted it because either I forgot to take a picture, or I did take a picture but the quality was terrible, or I took a picture which then got lost in the great iPhone Lion upgrade tragedy of 2011. Anyway, this has now resulted in me posting a photo of shortbread which is both poor quality, and of bad shortbread. I didn’t really want to post this one but frankly, with the luck I’ve had so far I didn’t want to risk it! I’m a firm believer that shortbread needs to be made with all butter. Shortbread containing any margarine or oil at all is heinous and needs to be binned immediately. All you want to taste in shortbread is butter, and sugar. That’s it. Those two things are delicious and need to be left pure and untampered with, and so when you do have good shortbread it is melt-in-your-mouth amazing. 640 down, 1156 to go
