Mincemeat Shortbread
Yesterday (January 6th) was National Shortbread Day. Who doesn’t love a beautiful, melt in the mouth piece of chunky all butter shortbread dusted with caster sugar? Me, for one! Shortbread is one of those bakes I never tire of making. It’s so easy to make and you can flavour it with whatever you have going…
