Few things beat an afternoon cup of tea with a shortbread, crumbled and sweet- the perfect afternoon snack- but just as you think it can’t get better, dip it in melted milk chocolate and sprinkle a little gold dust on them!
I promised myself I would just eat the one of these to taste test before sending them off to people in lockdown for a sweet treat, but I have little self-control so maybe a ate a couple more.., anyway enjoy the recipe!
