PETTICOAT TAILS

This variation on our Classic Shortbread got their name either from their likeness to frilly underskirts or a mispronunciation of the French petites gatelles (little cakes).

POPPY SEED SHORTBREAD PETTICOAT TAILS



Poppy Seed Shortbread Petticoat Tails image

I am a fan of shortbread, I love the crumbly, buttery goodness of shortbread. It's even pretty and trendy when poppy seeds are added into the mix. I do not suggest using a hand mixer unless you are extremely careful of the flour and powdered sugar. Please note this recipe uses a mould for shortbread.

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ cup butter, softened
⅓ cup unsifted confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon poppy seeds
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Cream butter in a bowl using a silicone spatula. Add confectioners' sugar and mix to combine. Mix in almond extract. Work in flour and poppy seeds. Turn dough onto an unfloured board and knead until smooth.
  • Spray a shortbread mould with non-stick spray. Put dough in the middle of the mould and press into the mould, working from the center to the edges. Prick the entire surface with a fork.
  • Bake shortbread in the preheated oven until the entire surface is lightly browned, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Let shortbread cool in the mould for about 10 minutes. Flip mould over onto a wooden cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut into serving pieces while still warm.

Tips:

  • Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces. This will help to create a flaky shortbread.
  • Work the dough quickly and gently to avoid overworking it. Overworking the dough will make the shortbread tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the shortbread from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the shortbread until it is golden brown around the edges. The center of the shortbread should still be slightly soft.
  • Let the shortbread cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Poppy seed shortbread petticoat tails are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual gathering to a formal party. With their delicate flavor and beautiful presentation, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
