Why ya gotta call it short.... bread?


Nothing quite soak up the yuck causing tummy acid like carbs! I went in search of the perfect bread recipe, only to discover I AM OUT OF BREAD FLOUR!!!!!!!!!! Ok. I can make due... Bread... Shortbread! I'm feeling ever so slightly better, and willing to risk a night praying to the porcelain goddess for forgiveness for my mistake! Here goes nothin'!

2 3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup white sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4tsp vanilla extract
1/8tsp salt




Combine the sugar and butter with a mixer or in a stand mixer until creamy. Add the salt and vanilla and combine well. Add in half the flour and combine, then the rest, just until the dough starts to come together. Lightly flour a cutting board or counter and form the dough into a disc. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and chill for about an hour or until firmed. Roll the dough out, again on a lightly floured surface, into rectangle about 1/2 an inch thick. Cut to 2-3 inches long by 1 inch. Place on a greased baking sheet, sprinkle with sugar, and bake at 350f for 20 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown some. Remove, cool, eat! Hope you enjoy!









Costs: This was another "from the pantry" creation, but if I remember right it was all about:
Butter: $2-3
Flour: $4
Sugar: $3
Vanilla: $4
Salt: $2
