SCOTCH SHORTBREAD. The ingredients required are: l%lb of flour and 4oz. rice flour, lib butter and Coz. to Boz. of castor sugar. Rub these ingredients together carefully till they will mould fairly easily when pressed, then shape them into round cakes with your hands, pinching up the edges neatly, and pricking the top over with a fork. Pla<>e each cake on a flat baking tin, and bake in a fairjy hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes; then lift it out and leave it on the baking tin till it is cool, as, it is very apt to break if handled whilst hot. The oven, though pretty hot at first, should be allowed to cool down gradually whilst it is cooking. This method, though considered in Scotland the only way, requires practice to get pliable'paste with only the above ingredients, and many cooks add a whole egg or a spoonful or two of milk to ensufe success. To New Zealanders this shortbread would be insufficient without a cup of delicious tea such as the New. Crescent blend. This tea has a flavor which distinguishes it from all others and the flavor never changes, for the blending is done bv a connoisseur who knows how. The Xew Crescent blend costs but 2s a lb, and gives the utmost palate pleasure. Your storekeeper sells it.—Advt.
