Easy Gluten-Free Shortbread Bars


The littlest Sugar Pig asked if I could make shortbread to go with the Prickly Pear Lemon Curd. Okay. I love that this only includes 4 ingredients and it's done in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients
  • 1 C butter, cubed + more for greasing baking dish
  • 1/2 C organic powdered sugar + more for sprinkling
  • 2 C gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 egg
  • Prickly Pear Lemon Curd, optional


Procedure
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter your baking dish; I used a 9"x13" dish.

In a large mixing bowl, use a pastry cutter to blend the butter into the flour and powdered sugar. Add in the egg and form dough into a ball with your hands.

Press the dough into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top with more powdered sugar. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes - or until cookies are pale golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

Cut into squares and serve immediately. Spoon Prickly Pear Lemon Curd over the top, if using.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, CĂ©sar, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
