Carrot Cake Oatmeal – Something a little different

[Chris Jones]

"PS I make a mean Shortbread from a recipe that can be traced back over 300 years in my maternal family."

Are you in a recipe-sharing kind of mood? I love shortbread. It's so sinful, though…

Definitely good for the trail, though. All that butter packs a lot of energy…

I'll write it out when I get back from my trip. Basically it is 4 cups of all purpose flour, 1 cup of white sugar and 1 pound of real butter. This makes 8 rounds or 64 pieces. It's more about the handling and technique. You have to knead the flour in but then treat it like pastry. It is also cooked for an hour or more in a very low oven.

I'll be back next week so if you send me an email reminder (through my profile is probably easiest)… then I can give you more explicit details.
