Ooooh!!! At the Interkingdom Cooks event in Ohio this past July, a lady
arrived from Idaho, no less, with over 2 dozen varieties of shortbread. 
All delicious, but some better and some best of all.  M. Kateryn de
Develyn had every variety, changing flours and sweetners. Tthey are so
simple to make, as flour, sweetner and fat (butter, originally, I
believe) that they must be quite old.  As soon as you have the idea of
making a baked goodie, this is the first and most basic thing you might
try.  I hope she's on the list, she can tell you all about the ones she
made and their history.

Allison, also fondly remembering the shortbread
