Scottish Shortbread Recipe!

Today I made stuff to eat outta nuthin...and I decided to write about it!  I have several books on tea and foods to make for taking tea, one of my favorites is The Afternoon Tea Book by Linda Hewitt, published in the early 80's, it is now quite the vintage classic!  The recipe for Scottish Shortbread is the simplest I have ever seen, most call for cornflour in the recipe, this does not.  3 ingredients, and a delicious result, follow the link for recipe!
