Hi Helen.
Yes thats Ellens Shortbread….Hope you didn.t mind me saying I think its the best recipe ever….all those who receive my shortbread gift parcels tell me each year.
Yes you were right saying I have been listening to your programme ever since it started and I enjoy every minute of it. ….must be 10 years or so.
Cheers.

I honestly felt I didn’t need any more recipes…but boy can’t resist these…you have an amazing selection.
Thank you
I made these last night, they are delish!! Had to add about a 1/4 cup extra flour because the mixture was a bit too wet to knead. Lovely if, like me, you enjoy the taste of ginger!
