Most excellent shortbread

Today was forecast to be a really hot day so I went for a swim at the beach in the morning before it got super hot. It was too hot for much else outdoor wise except I did walk to the supermarket in the mega heat to get some baking supplies, my main concern was getting back before the butter melted.

I made my most excellent shortbread, beat that MKR!*

My most excellent shortbread recipe

*My Kitchen Rules. A competitive cooking program where contestants cook for other contestants and the judges in their own home in their own pop up restaurant. Most of them are highly confident of their cooking ability and quite nauseating, although I've observed its the women in the group who are the nauseating ones, they also get highly excited and silly when the judges arrive who they clearly idolise as Gods, which is weird as the judges are just people who eat food and criticize it. They are chefs who are clearly getting paid lots of money to eat other peoples food. The producers have excelled at finding the most irritating examples of the Australian accent to showcase. It's a strangely additive program.
