I made this today. First of all, my house smelled fabulous during the baking. Sigh - just heaven. I was never able to get the ingredients past the breadcrumb stage, it never was able to be worked into the dough even after quite a while of working it. So, I just popped it onto a parchment-lined quarter sheet pan and pressed the dough down with a flat bottomed measuring cup. Docked it with a fork and scored it as Darren said to do. Baked at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and removed the most delicately gold pan of gloriousness. My brother stopped by and I asked him if he would like a piece. He said "it looks kind of plain", then he took a bite. He asked for more. Folks, you've got to save this recipe and try it. Thank you Darren!

I just want to say that I made this, and it really is as easy and delicious as it looks (not always the case but it is here!!). I decided to press it into a 8 x 8 aluminum cake pan, and then turn it upside down over onto a flat sheet pan to bake. The edges were a little messy, so if I were to do it again, I think I would just trim the very edges off so that it looks nice. It took 25 minutes at 350 in my oven. I omitted the vanilla and sugar topping since I wanted to go old school and no regrets, this was delicious! Very rich. My powdered sugar was a little bit on the old side, and I could taste the staleness a bit, so I recommend using fresh ingredients all around for this recipe.

Dear Darren, thank you so much for this particular recipie. I've been a fan of the Scottish Short bread for about 30+ years by now. But I never baked it myself. Sa several how it's made industrial videos and it was way to much steps for me to get my head around. Butter, mixing, layering, what else not. The only thing that I dislike about the Shortbrad is the fact, that when you buy it it is firm like a brick. So I had to buy it several weeks befor I wanted to eat it, to unwrap it and let some moisture come into the shortbread to become soft and crumbly. I never realised, the Queen also likes it soft and crumly and I never had any idea how to achieve this in a short time. As You imagine, almost anytime I bought Shortbread, I wanted to eat it as fast as I could. With your recipie I finally could! Again thank you so much and keep us up to date with those wonderfull recipies. Another thing I'd like to know, does the Queen and the royal family knows how you are doing so far, after being away from her services? Is there acutally any contact from the royal familie to their former employees?

Looks scrumptious! I might choose Lady Grey But Earl Grey is delicious too. Thanks for the instructions! (PS: The stuffed Corgi is adorable!)
