KITTENCAL'S SCOTCH SHORTBREAD BARS
These shortbread bars is one of my all-time favorite recipes... I find that baking shortbread in a baking pan somehow produces a flakier, richer cookie...I'm sure you will enjoy these as much as we do.

KITTENCAL'S MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH SCOTTISH SHORTBREAD
This is a light, buttery flakey shortbread that is quite similar to the expensive brands that are sold in the stores, the success of this shortbread or any shortbread recipe will depend on the quality of butter that you use so purchase the best quality butter you can find, and use only salted butter, if you are using unsalted add in a pinch of salt, the almond extract is only optional -- the amount of sugar will give give a medium sweetness, if you prefer a sweeter shortbread then increase by 2-4 tablespoons, for brown sugar shortbread use brown sugar in place of white, I advise to make this a few days ahead to allow the flavors ripen --- servings is only estimated.

Steps:
- Set oven rack to middle position.
- Preheat oven to 275°F.
- Have two ungreased 8-inch cake pans ready.
- Food Processor Method.
- Cut the butter into 1-inch cubes, wrap it, and refrigerate.
- Process the sugars for 1 minute or so, until the sugar is very fine.
- Add the butter and pulse until the sugar disappears.
- Add the flour and pulse until there are a lot of moist, crumbly little pieces and no dry flour particles remain.
- Dump the mixture into a plastic bag and press it together.
- Remove the dough from the plastic bag and knead it lightly until it holds together.
- Electric Mixer or by Hand.
- Use superfine granulated sugar for the best texture and be sure to soften the butter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugars.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter with the sugars until light and fluffy.
- With your fingers or with the electric mixer, mix in the flour until the mixture holds together.
- If using the mixer, add the flour in 2 parts.
- For Both Methods.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal parts.
- Pat each half into an ungreased 8-inch round cake pan.
- Use the tines of a fork to press 3/4-inch lines radiating like rays of sun all around the perimeter of the dough.
- Prick the rest of the dough all over with the tines of the fork.
- (this keeps the shortbread even and creates the traditional design).
- Bake for 60-70 minutes or until pale golden (do not brown).
- For even baking, rotate the pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway through the baking period.
- Cool in the pans, on a wire rack, for 10 minutes.
- Invert the shortbread onto flat cookie sheet and slide it onto a cutting board.
- While still warm, use a long sharp knife to cut each 8-inch round of shortbread into 8 pie-shaped wedges.
- Transfer the wedges to wire racks to cool completely.

SCOTTISH SHORTBREAD
My Great Grandmother brought this recipe with her from Scotland to Boston, MA in 1903. I learned how to make it from my Grandmother. To this day, we would not be caught without having this on hand during the Holidays. This recipe is not for the faint at heart. It is a labor of love. The hand kneading process can take up to 20 minutes (really) due to the ingredient ratios. The true keys to the success of this simple, rustic recipe are that the butter needs to be at room temperature (limp) and that you need to use the warmth of your hands to get the entire ball to a glistening stage. The flour needs to melt into the butter and sugar. You need to work it to the point that when cut in half, the interior of the ball glistens like the exterior. I know it sounds like a lot of work but the end results are well worth it. Put on some holiday music and share the process with people you love. Pass the ball around and take turns kneading it. Make some special Holiday memories with your family. I hope you enjoy making, eating and giving this shortbread as a small gift as much as we do... Enjoy!

Steps:
- Cream the butter and sugar to whipped cream consistancy in a food processor.
- Hand knead in the flour, one third at a time always forming a ball.
- Don't add the next one third of flour until all of the dough you are currently working with is glistening. The only way to achieve this consistency is using the heat from your hands. You need to squeeze and knead the dough to get it to stick together. An electric mixer will not work for this part of the recipe.
- Pre-heat the oven to 325 when you add the last 1/3 of the flour.
- Once the kneading is complete, cut the dough in half and hand form 2 seven inch round by 3/4 inch high rounds.
- Lightly prick the top of the rounds all over with fork tines.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes. It should be a pretty, light tan color.
- Cool for at least an hour before cutting into 8 pie shaped pieces.
- I like mine with my morning tea� Enjoy!

KITTENCAL'S ITALIAN MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH MEATBALLS
Cooking the meatballs in simmering pasta sauce will not only add so much extra flavor to the sauce the meatballs will be melt-in-your-mouth tender, you may of course oven-bake the meatballs for about 25 minutes, --- don't be afraid to add in more Parmesan cheese and a little more milk, there is no need to measure exactly, this recipe is pretty much foolproof, leftover cooked meatballs make a wonderful pizza topping just slice thinly and freeze until ready to use ----- these also make wonderful juicy burgers shaped into patties-- for more of my tried and true recipes check out my food blog at www.kittencalskitchen.com
