I ❤️ Millionaires Shortbread!!

Inspired by the Great British Bake Off, over the weekend I was busy baking Millionaire Shortbreads (gluten free of course!) ready for this morning when it was my turn to host my monthly book group. Our latest book was Laurie Lee’s “A Rose For Winter”, another book that we’d all recommend, such beautiful poetic descriptions that immediately transport you to 1950s southern Spain.

"Andalusia is a passion - and fifteen years after his last visit Laurie Lee returned. He found a country broken by the Civil War, but the totems of indestructible Spain survive: the Christ in agony, the thrilling flamenco cry-the pride in poverty, the gypsy intensity in vivid whitewashed slums, the cult of the bullfight, the exultation in death, the humour of hopelessness-the paradoxes deep in the fiery bones of Spain. Rich with kaleidoscopic images, A Rose for Winter is as sensual and evocative as the sun-scorched landscape of Andalusia itself.” Amazon

And the cakes were also recommend by all! A link to the recipe if you’re interested, a bit fiddly to make, but well worth it!! Millionaires Shortbread
