Poppy Seed Shortbread Petticoat Tails Recipes

PETTICOAT SHORTBREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/177C.
• Mix flour, powdered sugar and caraway seeds together. Cut in butter until the dough looks like pebbles.
• Mush together into a loose ball and place on a lightly floured board or silicone mat. Knead the dough until it firms up but is still workable. Have faith - the dough will be dry at first but the warmth of your hands will melt the butter a bit and blend everything together. Pretend its playdough.
• Roll out the dough to about a 1/4" thick circle. Crimp the edges like you would a pie crust with your finger and thumb. Prick surface with a fork all over.
• At this point you can score it by cutting the circle into equal wedges with a pizza cutter; if you're using a silicone mat, be careful not to cut it.
• Cut out a small circle in the middle- details on why below.**
• Bake for 20-30 minutes until golden.
• Take out and sprinkle with powdered sugar while still hot. You can also cut and dredge each wedge entirely in the powdered sugar, but that makes it a bit sweet for my taste.
• Allow to rest for about ten minutes. Unless you just can't wait another second!

POPPY SEED SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Combine flour, butter, confectioners' sugar, poppy seeds, vanilla extract, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to combine. Dough will be dry and crumbly.
• Press dough into a 11x7-inch baking pan. Pierce entire surface with a fork to prevent the dough from rising during baking.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges start to turn slightly brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Remove shortbread from pan and cut into 12 equal-sized bars while still warm. Place on a wire rack to cool.
