\nI realized that I hadn’t posted a classic shortbread recipe yet! This recipe makes perfectly crisp and fragrant shortbread. Cane sugar, vanilla, good fresh butter, a simple recipe but essential in any kitchen notebook. As you may know by now, I am a shortbread nut! And these have the childhood flavor that I love so much! It’s a great way to teach kids to cook. That’s how I started cooking when I was a kid!<\/div>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\nShortbread recipe:<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n-500g of flour<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-240g of fine cane sugar<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-150g of soft butter<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-110g of semi-salted butter<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-1\/2 vanilla bean<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-1 egg + 1 yolk mixed, weighed and then weight divided by two (see below)<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/i><\/p>\n

\nPut the flour in the bowl of the mixer.<\/i><\/div>\n


\n<\/i><\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nThis is the only “fine” cane sugar I could find. Because the brown sugar has too big grains.<\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nAdd the sugar to the flour.<\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nRemove the vanillin from the vanilla bean half and add it to the bowl. Save the pod for another recipe! <\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nMix sugar, flour and vanillin. <\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nCut the cold butter into pieces.<\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nAdd butter and mix to blend. When the butter is completely mixed, it really looks like sand.<\/i><\/div>\n
\nPlace the whole egg and yolk in a bowl. <\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nMix well with a fork and weigh the mixture. If the whole weighs 70g, take only half, so 35g to add to the “sand” mixture. <\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nAdd, therefore, half of beaten eggs to the mixture “sand”.<\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nMix without “spiking”, i.e. without insisting on the dough which could become too hard after cooking.  As soon as everything is homogeneous, stop mixing. <\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nRoll out the dough on parchment paper to a thickness of 6mm. Then cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Here, I use a canel\u00e9 mold.<\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nPlace the shortbread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave the shortbread in the fridge for an hour before baking. <\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nHeat the oven to 180\u00b0C. Then cook for 15-20 minutes. <\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nLet cool on a wire rack. <\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n
