"Plain fresh bread, its crust shatteringly crisp. Sweet cold butter. There is magic in the way they come together in your mouth to make a single perfect bite."--Ruth Reichl

Grandma Harris made this hard shortbread, as well as a drop shortbread that melted in your mouth. She kept hers in tins on the stairs going up to the attic so the draft would keep them cool. Gets better over time!
