I had mentioned recently that I made lilac sugar this summer. You can find that post here. And then I decided I wanted to make shortbread with it. Matt and I were going to be watching the season finale of Ted Lasso and I thought we should have celebratory shortbread biscuits to go with it. (If you watch the show you'll understand the reference).
I made up the crumbly batter mixure...
Pressed it into an ungreased pan lined with parchment paper (to lift out easier)
Baked it up and then sprinkled more lilac sugar on the top.
Before it was fully cool, I cut off the ugly edges and then cut it into bars.
Here is the recipe I used...only I substituted lilac sugar for all the parts calling for sugar. They had just a very slight floral taste. But obviously they would be equally wonderful with regular sugar. I often enjoy shortbread topped with a little jam. I found the recipe at Alexandracooks.com Here it is:
If you watched Ted, did you watch the finale? We thought it was pretty good. The Sound of Music moment totally cracked me up. But the episode choked me up a lot too. My sweet Ed Sheeran wrote and performed a song in it - did you catch it?
The bars were pretty darn good too. 😉
Enjoy! xoxo
We haven't seen that show.
ReplyDeleteThe shortbread looks so good and the lilac sugar sounds like a fun addition. I'll have to try the shortbread even though it won't have the lilac in it. Thanks!
Yes we watched the finale, I hope they continue to go on, guess we will see, not much happening right now with this strike going on.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe, may have to give that a try some time :)
Yum! Sounds delicious! I haven't watched Ted Lasso, but I hear it is great. It's nice to have a little treat while watching your favorite show. x K
ReplyDeleteWe watched it and loved it, of course. I miss that show already. Might have to make your shortbread (maybe with lavender sugar as lilac season is long gone here?) and have a re-watch :)
