Classic Shortbread

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Cream butter.

3. Mix in sugar, almond extract and flour.

4. Press in pan. (I like to use a stone pie plate).

5. Take a fork and poke lots and lots of holes in the shortbread all over. This step is essential to the shortbread.

6. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

7. When cooled turn out onto wax paper and cut. I cut it like pie slices.

8. Enjoy with a cup of Earl Grey hot tea or your favorite.
