When life gives you lemons?

Okay, so maybe not lemons, but an awfully large amount of stuff to do and what is seeming more and more like a brain with no idea how to process it all!
So when life gives you all of the above? Thats right. Bake.

Just a quick one this time something to ease the heavy heart and deepen the breath.

Vanilla Vegan (you got it) Shortbreads

Ingredients:
125g Soy Spread (or butter!)
60g   Caster Sugar + a little extra for sprinkling over
180g Plain Flour
1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
A little icing sugar for rolling out.

Method:
1. Cream the spread and sugar together until lovely and creamy
2. Thoroughly stir in the vanilla extract
3. Sift in the flour until you get a smooth paste and turn onto a lightly icing sugared surface and roll out to about 1/2-1cm thick.
4. Cut into what ever shape you like, fingers, rounds or use a cookie cutter - i favor a heart shape :) and place onto a baking sheet
5. Dust with your extra caster sugar and pop into the fridge to chill for 20 minutes or so.
6. Pre-heat the oven to 190c
7. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and leave to cool or burn your mouth on eating them straight out the oven - surprisingly i favor the first approach!

They really make for a lovely short shortbread.
