SCOTTISH SHORTBREAD (HOME VERSION OF THE FAMOUS WALKERS) ZUCCHINI WITH
With a shy "hello" back to my small kitchen after a few weeks (most months) of total abandonment.
My pace of life these days has been rather more hectic than it already is usual ... and last but not least I had the computer rather sickly. Anyway, a whole set of circumstances that have kept me well away from the stove. But this is one of those shelters to which I am always happy to return.
I shall focus on the cookies before us, because they really deserve take the leading role of this input. They are incredibly good, and have a buttery taste so terrific that everything becomes a vice.
Several years ago I tried the commercial version of these cookies, the famous "Walkers, which are exquisitely presented in a box very" scottish "frame. I remember that was a gift they did to my mother, but do not remember much more ... What if I was grabadísimo in memory and the palate was the delicious flavor.
bit ago I discovered thanks to Bea
of "Bea's Corner" these delicacies can be prepared at home, with a little patience, love and desire.
On my last trip to Portugal I found the sugar "Gold Caster Sugar" Bea recommended for the development of these cookies. Do not hesitate to buy it because I know about how difficult it is to find these products at any supermarket in our country.
Well, we had the sugar, flour and butter box Tineo is sin ... I just left myself with galletinas.
And here is the result ... Absolutely spectacular!
Bea says on his blog and I will repeat here because I fully agree with it: the quality of butter in this recipe is critical. Good butter and success is more than warranted. We
