TWD: Hungarian Shortbread

I’d like for you to picture a beautiful day. You’re sitting on a patio. You’re sipping your beverage of choice. You begin to get a hankerin for a sweet treat that goes with said beverage.

I have that sweet treat for ya today. And boy, would I love to be sitting on a patio drinking coffee or iced tea. I couldn’t decide, so in my scenario I have both.

This, my friends, is hungarian shortbread. Don’t ask me what makes this hungarian because my guess is as good as yours. If those hungarians like sweet treats then I won’t argue.

One for me. One for you. We’ll share the fork. Or you’re welcome to do what I do. Stand over the pan in your kitchen and use your fingers all while glancing over your shoulder. No one will get in my way. But to each his or her own really.

I ended up using a cherry preserve from the grocery store. I didn’t have the time or patience to deal with a pound of rhubarb. I do love rhubarb though. When it’s in season, my step-dad makes a rhubarb pie that is to die for. Most of my family doesn’t like it though, so my mom and I sit at the table scarfing it down straight from the pie pan.
