I decided my tea party needed a little treat of tea bag shaped cookies. I started looking for a shortbread recipe that I thought would work. My go-to cookbook is our vintage Fanny Farmer. The first thing I noticed was that the recipe recommended WASHING your butter. What!!???
Fanny even explains how to hold the butter and wring it under running water. I think butter must have come very differently from how we get it now! Needless to say, I did NOT wash the butter, and luckily everything turned out okay. This is a very tasty shortbread - especially dipped in chocolate!
All of the new stamps will be available tomorrow at Paper Sweeties. I used Join Me for Tea and I'm Having a Tea Party on my tea time treat bag.
Lots of excitement going on:
