Like a lot of Alton recipes, you need to watch the show to pull it off properly. Mine took a lot more milk, for example, to get the consistency right. To figure out the consistency I had to pull out a book since I hadn't seen the show. This makes the traditional drop biscuit style shortbread.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm a cook--not a baker! I'm afraid of baking, because it requires too much accuracy in measurement, etc. I let my wife do the baking (she has years of experience at it), while I do the hard-core, down-on-the-stove work. Now you know that if I tell you this is easy, it's EASY. The results were superb for my first serious baking effort, and I found the recipe to be quite forgiving. I found that the dough/batter was a little dry when I finished my first round of work with it [so much depends on the state of the flour and the humidity--I learned that by reading Alton's baking book ;) ], and went by instinct adding moisture until I got a product that could be spooned onto a cookie sheet. Fifteen minutes later, we had some knobbly-looking (hey, whatever) but great tasting product that will be perfect with macerated strawberries tomorrow. Highly recommended!




Very Good
