  1. The flavor of this shortbread is excellent. I did have a problem in getting it out of the pan. It crumbled rather badly. I think this could be easily solved by baking it on parchment on a flat baking sheet rather than in a pan. I intend to try it that way in the future. Thank you for posting a good, and very easy recipe.
