Friday = Procrastibaking!

Yep, Friday again! This morning I made some yummy traditional Scottish shortbread, using my "traditional Scottish Gma's" recipe, and some bacon egg & spinach muffins - which so far are proving to be extra kind to my stomach since I've had a migraine for 3 days now (it's going slowly!) and have not been able to keep anything down. These are light and tasty, perfect.

The muffin recipe is just your standard base recipe of milk, SR flour and some eggs. You can add whatever you like to it.

Shortbread is simple:

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup plain flour

beat the butter and sugar together until pale and creamy, then stir in the flour. You will have to use your hands at this point! Mix to a dough, turn it out onto a lightly floured bench and roll/shape to your liking. transfer to a baking tray, sprinkle lightly with sugar then pop it into the fridge for 15-20 minutes until it's firmed up again. Whack it in the oven at around 180C until lightly golden.

I must admit they seem to be lacking something...
