Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Preheat oven to 325F degrees.
Step #2 Cream butter until light.
Step #3 Cream in the powdered sugar & the grated lemon peel.
Step #4 Now work in the flour.
Step #5 Knead the dough on an unfloured board until nice & smooth.
Step #6 Spray the shortbread pan very lightly with a non-stick vegetable spray.
Step #7 Firmly press the dough into the shortbread pan.
Step #8 Prick the entire surface with a fork, & bake the shortbread right in the pan.
Step #9 Bake for 30 - 35 mins, or until very lightly browned.
Step #10 Let the shortbread cool in the pan for about 10 mins before you loosen the edges with a knife & flip the pan over onto a wooden cutting board.
Step #11 If the shortbread does not come right out, tap one edge of the pan.
Step #12 Cut the shortbread into serving pieces while it is still warm.
Step #13 Note: I usually leave it whole & wrap in plastic wrap & tie with ribbon or rafia for gifts.
