Shortbread – The Vanilla Version!

Robin Boyle January 18, 2020 2/5 - Not Difficult, Australian, Cakes & Baking, Home-Made, Morning/Afternoon Tea, Traditions-Feasts

This recipe uses vanilla bean sugar and is made in a food processor. The end result is a shortbread with a light, ‘fluffy’ texture rather than a chewy biscuity one. Click here for: Blog post – Shortbread – With Vanilla Bean Sugar!

Homemade Scones – With Jam and Fresh Cream

Robin Boyle August 16, 2018 2/5 - Not Difficult, Australian, Cakes & Baking, Home-Made, Morning/Afternoon Tea
