My brother’s girlfriend introduced me to the magic of earl grey shortbread some time ago, and it may have changed my life. The poor girl probably thinks I’m a crazy person as I pretty much ask her to make them for us at any and every family gathering. I’ve since recreated them myself, and though I’ve yet to master them like Sara does, I have to say this version is pretty darn good. Buttery, and crumbly, with a hint of floral notes - they make for a sophisticated addition to afternoon tea.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
Instructions
- Place flour, tea, salt and sugar in a food processor and pulse a few times. The tea should be spotted throughout the mixture.
