Quickest biscuits I've ever made. Came out perfectly. Moist inside, nice crunch outside. I mixed together dry ingredients with a whisk, grated the stick of butter right into the bowl with the dry mixture, lightly coated the butter shreds with the flour mix and then added the buttermilk. Barely moistened, then patted into a rectangle by hand on parchment paper on the cookie sheet. Gave 12 perfect square biscuits--but I do miss the round shape. Next time I'll try rolling and cutting. Very good taste!

By far the best shortbread I've ever made or eaten. I am already imagining the possibilities for add-ins such as orange or lemon zest, lavender, cinnamon...but they are fantastic as is. I made these tonight and cut them out with a salmon shaped cookie cutter and dipped the "tails" in melted chocolate. I'm bringing them to a work Christmas potluck tomorrow and I know they'll disappear fast. I softened the butter just slightly enough for it to easily cream with the sugar, but not so soft that the dough got too messy. I made them a little on the thin side and baked for 11 minutes. These are delicious!

Easy and delicious. I just made two and a half dozen of these to take to work tomorrow and am sure going to hate to admit how simple they were to make when I'm asked for the recipe. Next time I think I'll make a streusel topping, but having just taste tested one I can say they are excellent just the way they are.
