 A Simple Twist

while adding your flour to the mix, why not try adding vanilla extract or crushed coconut.
and have shortbread with a twist!

This fine looking creation is Divine!! home made ice cream on top of a shortbread base, with a caramelised sugar crisp.

just use a circle cutter to cut your shortbread, leave the ring around your shortbread and pack tightly with the ice cream of your choice, and then simply caramelise sugar in a pan and drizzle it in fancy patterns on some grease proof paper and put in the fridge for an hour or until set. and there you have it.
