Vive le 1 er mai ! Happy May 1st with Classic Shortbreads

Voila le Mois de Mai! Happy May 1st. La Fete du 1er Maiis very important in France. First this is Bank Holiday so nobody works ( it is like Labor Day in the USA), and as you may know French people love Bank days off and vacations. On May 1st, the tradition is to buy a fragrant and cute brin de muguet for your loved ones. It will bring Good Luck for the rest of the Year.
Here is mon Brin de Muguet for all my readers and the ones who follow my Blog. Merci!
And because we need sweet things in our lives… I want to share these delicious Classic Shortbread. Great recipe for kids or people with eggs allergy since no eggs are used…

Classic Shortbreads

1/2 cup Organic unsalted Butter – at room temp.
1/3 cup Powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon Organic Bourbon Vanilla extract
1 cup Organic Flour
1 pinch of Sea salt

Pre-heat oven to 325

In work bowl of food processor add butter and sugar. process briefly to cream the butter. Add the vanilla and pulse again. Add the flour cup at a time, pulsing to mix. Process to a moderately firm dough.

Spray a shortbread pan (or other flat pan) with non-stick spray. Pat out the dough to a uniform thickness then prick it all over with a fork to break any bubbles.

Bake for about 30 – 35 minutes until lightly browned. Remove and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Place a wooden cutting board on top of the pan and carefully turn the pan and board over. Removing the pan should leave the shortbread on the cutting board. If it sticks try tapping one edge of the pan to release it.

Cut the shortbread into serving sized pieces while it it still warm. Allow cut pieces to coll completely before storing away.

Bon appetit!
