You’re right about the vanilla… I haven’t met one person who has said ‘i don’t like vanilla’! Thank you for a gorgeous shortbread recipe… the samovar sounds interesting, too! Thanks for sharing

I would never have a problem with cardamom in shortbread, but then vanilla doesn’t bother me either. These look SO good! Thanks for sharing info on samovar. I’ve never heard of it, but I’ll keep an eye out for it. Hope you had a great weekend!

I only use this sugar coconut sugar in my cooking & baking. It has a lower glycemix index than honey & it is so good for you too with several minerals,etc.
It also gives a really caramel flavour in baking dishes like crumbles, etc. Good for you that you finally tasted it! But it is very expensive over here: 1 large pot of 400 grams= 13.50 Euros!! Really!
