This is my Dad's recipe. My kids always want some at Christmas.

Scottish Short Bread

Oven at 325 degrees.

1 lb. sifted flour
1/2 lb. very soft butter
1/4 lb. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
Pinch of salt

With your hands, work all ingredients together. Press tightly into
mini muffin tins. Pierce each with fork a couple of times. Bake about 25 min. or until edges are slightly golden. Cool completely and then invert muffin tin to remove short bread.

These actually taste best after a couple of days. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
