There's something about shortbread I can never quite put my finger on.
It's temperamental β too cold and the butter solidifies, too hot and the dough is melty and an absolute nuisance to work with.
But despite everything it puts you through, I can't help but love the smell of a fresh batch straight out the oven. That first tester biscuit that makes you want three more...
That has to be the smell of happiness. Right? πͺ
Tonight it's vanilla β and honestly, sometimes that's more than enough. π€
