Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Almond Shortbread Biscuits


cakes, scottish

6 oz flour
2 oz cornflour
5 oz butter
1 oz ground almonds
3 oz caster sugar

Set oven to 350F or Mark 4. Grease a baking sheet. Cream the butter in a mixing bowl. Sift together the flour and cornflour and add, with the almonds and sugar, to the butter. Work the ingredients together with the hands. Turn out on to a very lightly floured surface and finish kneading until the dough is smooth. Roll the dough into two rounds each 1/4 inch thick. Prick well with a fork and mark each circle into six triangles. Transfer to the baking sheet. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before cutting and then place on a wire rack to finish cooling. From the booklet Scottish Teatime Recipes
