Lemon Shortbread

I was in the mood to bake! It has been a while since I have tried a new recipe. This one turned out really yummy. I enjoyed piping the mixture too. Made me realise how I have missed decorating.
My little mate Renata was right by my side helping.

  

Here is the recipe.

250g Butter, chopped
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind
1/3 cup (55g) icing sugar
1 1/2 cups (225g) plain flour
1/2 cup (75g) cornflour
1/2 cup (85g) mixed peel chopped finely


1. Preheat oven to 180/160oC fanforced. Grease Oven trays
2. Beat butter, rind and sifted icing sugar in small bowl with electric mixer until just changed in colour. Stir in sifted flours in two batches.
3. Place mixture into large piping bag fitted with fluted tube, pipe mixture into rosettes about 2 cm apart on trays. sprinkle with mixed peel.
4. Bake about 15 minutes. Stand 10 minutes on tray, transfer to wire rack to cool.

(makes about 40 rosettes)    YUM!

"I'll be your best friend?!"

My baby never fails to have a “such a cutie” moment every day. I don’t know what it is about him, perhaps knowing he is the baby, or simply that he was such a good baby, that I have noticed these little moment s more.   I have to share this one with you. It has happened twice this last week. We are sitting in the car and Rakaipaka calls out and asks for something. Usually it is a lolly or chocolate or something I don’t have at that time. Anyway I call out ‘no’, and the response comes back, “Oooh, Ill be your best friend”!!! Ha How cute is that!! He is all of what 2 years old and is already trying that line on his mother!!! Now the question is posed…. Which one of his siblings did he hear that from!!!!

Volleyball

Teancum really enjoys playing volleyball. He jumped right into the teams at boys high, and within a couple of weeks, he was in the 'A' team. They came runner up this season to a solid Hillcrest school team. An awesome group of boys.
