This is one week after school resumption in my region, We said goodbye to holiday and start school run out activities. How about your environment.
What do you put inside your child lunch pack, it is food or snack? For me I like both.I give a her food with light snacks. So many people around the globe buy package snacks for their children.
We are use to it. But why not make changes this season and prepare your own delicious snacks.
Steemit is the only platform that helps people to showcase their hidden talents with creativity.
This week, I want to show you, how I prepare delicious short bread for my daughter. This will serve as her lunch for the day.
From my youth,I know short bread to be classic Scottish biscuit, that is crumbly, Buttery and delicious. It is one of the simplest but unique snacks with just few ingredients. Short bread is rich in flavour depending on individual preferences.
After having a brief about myself short bread, let arrange ingredients and prepare together.
Ingredients required
- Butter
- Sugar
- Floor
- Salt
- Rolling pin
- Waxed paper
- Bowl
- Mixer
In a clean dry bowl, poured the desirable quantity of butter and beat for few minutes.
Continue the process by adding the required quantity of sugar, Mixed very well till, it becomes creamy.
Go in with your salt, this salt is for taste.
Gradually,I added my flour, adding bit by bit make it easier for us to incorporate the dough well.
Mixed it well,till a beautiful dough is form. I place a baking waxed paper on my pan.

I roll and shape out my dough to my desirable thickness. This is about 1/4 inch.

I use fork 🍴 and made three lines design, it is one of the commonly used design.
I preheated oven to 150⁰C. I place my short bread on it. I Bake 20 minutes, Checking the back it was lightly golden brown.
I allow it cool and transfer it into a plate. It is yummy and delicious short bread.
Feed your eyes
My daughter was extremely excited when enjoying her short bread. I package some inside our lunch bag.
For an individual to have a beautiful short bread, it is advisable for the baker to use a high quality butter, this helps in enhancing good texture and flavour to our short bread
Secondly, we should not overworked our dough, we should just mixed until ingredients come together.
