alpenrose Jun 2021 4:49pm, 21 Jun 2021 51,250 posts	0 alpenrose I've made some almond shortbreads. A bit of an experiment really. They don't taste particularly almondy and I put them in a patty tin, slightly overcooked them (but not burnt) and they sank in the middle. I think I'll stick to doing a big one and cutting it up afterwards.
