Today I made Blueberry Shortbread bars.

As with the scones yesterday, I learned to make these from a video on Food Wishes, which is a great resource. I’m pretty good at cooking but I don’t have so much experience baking so I usually need some kind of recipe or instructions to avoid disaster when I try baking.

It turned out these were really easy. I learned about cutting up very cold butter and and working it in with one of those pastry gadgets. It seems pretty much foolproof. These have a lovely texture and they’re a perfect summer treat.
