When it came to the choice of

Hungarian Shortbread

Hungarian Shortbread (5)

this week, I had no idea what’s the Hungarian part of this. I asked my fellow bloggers, but they couldn’t answer the question in a satisfactory manner. ORsi knows similar pastry from home and Anikós family didn’t serve it. So I have no idea, if Gale Gand’s recipe is authentic or not.

Because my rhubarb

Rhabarber2012

needs more time I liked the idea from saveur and used raspberry jam and unsalted, uncultured butter – Süßrahmbutter, as well as spelt pastry flour.

I made half the recipe in a springform pan, reduced the sugar amount and didn’t dust with icing sugar.

The Hungarian Shortbread wasn’t too sweet, and it was gone fast. But I don’t think, I’ll make it again.

    Oh, what a pity you didn’t like it. I’ve loved it!
    and I love your rhubarb plants! Mmmm more jam?

    I’ve reduced sugar, butter by 1/3 and was still delicious!

    Hi
    Here I am again.
    Thank you for stopping by and thank you for commenting.

    Sorry if I ask but I did not understand what you meant with „And to answer your question: I bought the book…“
    Was I doubting someting in my comments or posts? Ups, I hope not, because I never meant to.
    Thank you for replying
