A Honey of a Shortbread

Spring is just around the corner and that means alot of things to alot of us folks.  One of those glorious things is fresh….HONEY!

Now we all know that Honey is great for us, sugar…well, not so much. But did you know that there are some honey’s that are just a little…bit…better??

Mohawk Valley Trading Co offers the highest quality unprocessed natural honey products that can be produced: Maple Syrup, Maple Sugar,Honey, Raw Honey, Beeswax, Beeswax Candles, Handmade Soap and Natural Skin Care Products.

They have over 15 varieties of raw honey and their raw honey is unheated, unpasteurized, unfiltered, unprocessed, un-blended and all of the pollen, enzymes, propolis, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and aromatics are in the same condition as they were in the hive.

Now that I have you all in the mood for something sweet…here is my Honey Almond Shortbread Recipe.

 Honey Almond Shortbread

Gather your ingredients…not to hard: Butter, honey, almonds, flour and vanilla. (I missed the vanilla in the pic, sorry!)

Add butter to the bowl, make sure it’s room temperature!

Add your vanilla (mine is homemade…go get the recipe HERE) and your honey.

Beat…until light and fluffy

add your flour (I used a combo of whole wheat and coconut flour)

Turn out onto a floured board

Add your ground almonds

Knead until incorporated.

Put into your pie plate

Press down with hands

Flatten out and smooth with back of spoon

Score your shortbread and prick all over with a fork

Ready for the oven…bake for 30-35 minutes.

Doesn’t it turn out golden and beautiful?

Here’s your close-up view.

Now if y’all excuse me…this amazing shortbread and Hot Tea is calling me!
