This week’s recipe is for Wheat and Rye Shortbread. Mixed entirely by hand, and baked until the butter browns and the sugars caramelize, these simple shortbread cookies are a practice in using our senses every step of the way. The simplicity of the recipe allows us to taste each ingredient, and yet they’re so much more than the sum of their parts. You will need a plastic bowl scraper to effectively prepare this recipe.
