dreamlike shortbread

I've been unfaithful.

After years of steadfast devotion to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and his shortbread recipe, I've had my head turned by Lorraine Pascale and her Dreamlike Shortbread from Baking Made Easy:

And it is indeed dreamlike: simple to make and yet so tasty--somehow light and moreish at the same time. So while I'll still make Hugh's Lavender Shortbread with our flowers from the plot, I think I may have found my new everyday biscuit.

But does this mean I should desert Jamie and try Lorraine's pizza crust too? This could be the thin end of the wedge.

    I really enjoyed her show, that shortbread did look good. And her macarons!

    But I don't think she can beat Jamie on a pizza crust.

    Looks fantastic, I'm tempted to have a go, I haven't made shortbread for years.

    Monica's comment has me in fits!

    Branching out certainly paid off, I vote to try the new pizza crust recipe. Friday is pizza day after all!

    Thin end of the wedge haha. You are definitely a shortbread connoisseur.

    I love that expression, "thin end of the wedge." So apt, here.
