Being the competitive little soul I am, I took up the challenge issued by child number 1 (see my previous post) to make shortbread. She saw a piece of shortbread made into what appeared to be a tea bag. This was very cute and apparently gluten free. Well, not to be out done I tinkered with it and voile I came up with a shortbread that was not only gluten free, but dairy free and cane sugar free. Now whilst this isn't the place for me to extol the benefits of organic coconut palm sugar, I will say that the shortbread that I produced is seriously good for you and tastes and we would say in Australia, "bloody beautiful". As to the shape of my shortbread, I did not attempt the tea bag because "it's been done before". At the time I was feeling very girly and I could only find a flower shape cut out that coincidently lends itself to the perfect portion per biscuit/flower. And to prove myself as a complete nutritional over-achiever, I did make the 'chocolate' from raw cacao, organic coconut butter and organic coconut palm sugar although I only half dipped the flowers. Oh and the response from said daughter that issued the challenge "nom nom ... it's very rich, just like real shortbread but better and with a hint of caramel ... yeah good, real good Mumma." That'll do, that'll do. Enjoy your day. Lee x
