Momma gonna make some shortbread shortbread

     This my husband's mother's recipe for shortbread:

Kay's Shortbread

1 cup soft butter

2/3 cup super fine deluxe sugar

2 1/2 cup sifted flour

In a bowl cream the butter and gradually add sugar until the sugar is disolved.

Work in flour gradually until mixture is crumbly.  Divide mixture into 2 8x8x2

cake or pie pans.  Pat down firmly.  Flute the edges with a fork and divide each

pan into 16 wedges with a knife.  Bake at 300' for 45 minutes or until golden

brown.  Recut wedges and let cool in pan.

    This is a great tradition in our house.   Glen made the batch pictured.  I have to

make some more for tonight's holiday chorus concert.  Our favorite tradition is to

fill a tin of shortbread.  We all jump into the car.  Crank up the Christmas music

on the radio.  Sing along and look at the Christmas lights and pass around the 

shortbread.
