Okay, an update on the shortbread problem.

I tried the original mix, patted down, at 325 until the edges browned.  =
It's dry, it's (after cooling) hard as a rock.

I've tried the "add 3 T water" approach and I agree that the product =
looks a little more like crumbly dough than dough crumbs.  I've patted =
it down and it's in the oven.  But I don't have high hopes it'll turn =
out any different.

A friend looked up a "Scottish shortbread" recipe for me an dfound a =
very different ratio of fat/sugar/flour (instead of 1-2-4, it works out =
to 1 1/2- 2-3, I think.
