Hi Rachel! Pretty experienced baker here- spreading shortbread can be done with the bottom of a measuring cup that is generously coated in flour. Also, it helps to dump out the dough into small pieces all around the pan and then use the floured measuring cup to squish the pieces down to connect them together. It also helps to refrigerate the dough as working with it cold is much easier! Also, to my knowledge, powdered sugar is used in shortbread doughs to maintain its structure and color as regular granulated sugar contributes to browning and makes baked goods spread, while the corn starch in powdered sugar helps keep shortbreads blonde and more firm :)

[@beccailic4563]

Thank you so much for these tips! I’ve actually been making that pop tart recipe for a year now because it’s a friend group favorite and the shortbread spreading is the WORST PART. Can’t wait to try new techniques!

Chris is totally right. You can definitely add cream to the gochujang sauce. Here in Korea it's really popular to add cream this type of gochujang sauce and call it "Rosé". It helps with the spice and it's so yummy! You can use this rosé sause with korean tteokbokki rice cakes, ramyun noodles, udon noodles, pasta, even pan braise some chicken in it (they call it rosé jjim-dak). Add salt and pepper to taste. If you're feeling extra, even a little msg is good too ;)

Rachel, I don't know if you'll read this, but I just wanted to say thank you. I have anxiety and get panic attacks, and watching your videos really helps me to calm down and feel like things are going to be okay. There are very few things that actually work when the dread hits, but your videos are comforting. No matter what you're doing or talking about, your presence is enough. Sorry if that's corny, but I mean it. Thank you

Interesting. I saw that two ingredient mousse recipe too, but what I saw was hot water, chocolate, you stir them together until smooth, put it in the fridge to set up, then whip until fluffy, ramekin, then refrigerate until set.

I tried this years ago (water and chocolate, not oj) and it worked for me!

[@kierancampire]

How To Cook That did a video on it, she showed you can do it, but you need drastically less water than what that person shows! Using hot water and repeatedly whipping it would do nothing, if it's watery you can't whip air/consistency into water, it just needs a completely different chocolate-water ratio

[@wiktoriarozycka8626]

Yeah, my guess is that this would actually work

[@laurieann2714]

FYI, wetting hands/spatula helps minimize dough from sticking. Always love watching your videos!!!!

[@kerlitasso515]

YES!!!

[@suechristy363]

Yes, I would recommend patting the dough down with wet fingers or put your hands in baggies and pat down

[@02biddee]

I would have used a second sheet of parchment an use a roller

[@leeahwagner9943]

Use my hands all the time to spread dough however, sometimes I will spray cooking oil on my hands. Just in case the water makes the dough too sticky.

[@KinniMoo]

Buttery garlic is a basic food group to me!!! You need to try kerrygold butter if you haven’t!!!! It is like maldon salt…so amazing!

[@redselig]

Shortbread tip! I typically don’t parchment the bottom since there is so much butter, but in the case that I have to, I drop the dough down in dollops instead of a giant mass, and then basically connect the dots until the base of the pan is covered. Also, if you have a small offset spatula, give that a whirl!

[@someonedifferent198]

Can you please link the recipes somewhere?! Would love to try some of the ones I see in you channel?!

[@shavit49]

[@kazzmastah]

For brown sugar I highly recommend a Prepworks Prokeeper container with the clay puck. The puck gets soaked in water and then keeps the moisture level better to keep the brown sugar soft.

[@cheermom8492]

Butter hack…take a glass and put hot water in it then pour it out and put it on top of the butter you need at room temp. The heat from the glass warms it and makes it soft. I use it a lot. I always forget to take it out of the fridge!

[@Acminy]

Put butter on defrost setting in the microwave for about 10-14 seconds. Works a treat!

[@kaitlintessier4190]

Mythical Kitchen tested this hack and found the microwave worked the best. I just use less power, like 50 percent, and put it on for 10-20 seconds at a time.

One trick for the shortbread dough is to put it down and then put a second square of parchment on top, that way you can squish it down with your hand and not have it stick to everything. Then once it's spread, peel off the parchment.

[@johnsoncas19]

Every Saturday at 1. Lunch and chill time with Rachel

[@mommashawna707]

Any time I have to add a filling and it says to divide the dough and put the filling in between I always put a third of it on the bottom and 2/3 on top. I feel like if you have a good base, it’s putting the second layer on top of that filling that’s harder so I give myself more to work with and it seems to work out pretty well. I do this especially when I’m making a homemade coffee cake. I also put six or nine dollops then spread, I feel like the dollops make it easier to spread if that makes sense.

[@melvasaiel]

Have you checked the height of the head? You might need an adjustment. Your manual will tell you how but it’s the screw you see when you lift the head of the mixer.

[@beekay918]

Hannah the hand mixer!

[@Softsqueakyduck]

When spreading shortbread I use moistened hands. It's just the best way to get an even layer, no smoothing needed. For the mousse you really need to use chocolate bars or baking chocolate. Chips have other things added to it which prevents setting.

[@NikkiStutzman]

Tip to make working with your pop tart dough even easier: Put each half into a gallon size ziplock bag and use your rolling pin to roll it into shape. Cut the bag open and flop it into your pan! 👍🏾👍🏾

[@meganjantzen2327]

Your hand mixer should be named Mandy, because she's Handy Mandy hehe (or is it just me who finds that amusing)

[@marthalorden8498]

Spray the bottom of a metal cup measure with nonstick spray and use it to pat the bottom crust into the pan evenly. Easy peasy!

[@ChristinaVVM]

An offset spatula is worth its weight in gold for spreading all things! I have 2 regular sized and one large for all my spreading needs.

[@tamara9186]

Shortbread is a pain in the patootie to spread out. My Great Great Aunt taught me to make a fist, and then use the flat space between your hand and knuckles to pat it down. It really does work. I think part of the magic, is that when you use your fingers to spread it out, they are transferring a lot of heat to the shortbread. Shortbread is easier to handle when it is cold.

Powdered sugar might be used instead of granulated because of a couple reasons, it dissolves easier and contains starches. Both may be desirable for certain recipes, which is why one may use powdered instead of granulated

[@marciwhitman3513]

Powdered sugar does not contain starches. Basically you just take regular sugar and you put it into a grinder and you grind it until it's fine and you have powdered sugar

Powdered Sugar- Sift Flour/Flour Mixture (flour w/salt and/or floof powder/soda)- Sift Brown Sugar- Do not sift Also, if you’re working with the dough with your hands (pop tart recipe), try flouring your hands a tiny bit so they don’t stick to the dough as much😊

For spreading the dough out. Use a butter wrapper! It’s greased and waxy and works perfectly. And you’re reusing something that’s gonna be trash! I always use one when spreading out Rice Krispie squares.

I bake a lot of cookies and shortbreads the easiest way to roll is literally use parchment paper over the surface of dough and under. Use the rolling pin over the parchment. If I notice it’s sticky I just pop it in the fridge and it peels right off.
