POPPY SEED SHORTBREAD PETTICOAT TAILS



Poppy Seed Shortbread Petticoat Tails image

I am a fan of shortbread, I love the crumbly, buttery goodness of shortbread. It's even pretty and trendy when poppy seeds are added into the mix. I do not suggest using a hand mixer unless you are extremely careful of the flour and powdered sugar. Please note this recipe uses a mould for shortbread.

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup poppy seeds
Special Equipment

Cool cookies on sheets on racks 5 minutes, then transfer with a spatula to racks to cool completely.

Tips:

  • For a more intense poppy seed flavor, toast the poppy seeds before using. Spread them on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
  • To make the shortbread even more crumbly, use cold butter and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this will make the shortbread tough.
  • If you're short on time, you can skip the chilling step and bake the shortbread immediately. However, chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and will result in a more flaky shortbread.
  • Bake the shortbread until it is just beginning to brown around the edges. Overbaking will make the shortbread dry and crumbly.
  • Let the shortbread cool completely before cutting into it. This will help to prevent the shortbread from crumbling.
  • Serve the shortbread with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Poppy seed shortbread petticoat tails are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their delicate flavor and crumbly texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
