Shortbread melts in your mouth. It is the perfect blend of butter, salt and sweetness. It brings a simple elegance to an otherwise ordinary tea. No one would guess how easy this tasty treat is to make.
When I make treats I like use nourishing real ingredients that add nutrition and flavor. This short bread is made from freshly ground sprouted flour. If you do not care to use sprouted flour you can use non sprouted flour as well. My favorite wheat to use when making shortbread is soft white wheat which is similar to pastry flour, resulting in a lighter product.
