Found another dessert recipe I wanted to try.  It's simple to make too.










10 inch cast iron skillet


Cooking spray


Foil


1 1/2 cups sugar (*****plus 2 TBS)


1 1/2 sticks of Butter, melted


2 large eggs, beaten


1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour


1/2 tsp of salt


1 tsp almond extract


1/2 cup sliced almonds with skins (I am going to use 1/3 cup next time...my skillet is an 8')



Preheat the oven to 350. Line a 10 inch cast-iron skillet with foil, and spray the foil with cooking spray.



I a large mixing bowl, stir the sugar with the melted butter.  Beat in eggs one at a time and stir well.  Sift the flour and salt onto the batter. Stir well.  Add the flavoring and stir well.  Pour the batter into the foil lined skillet.  Top with the almonds and the remaining 2 TBS of sugar. (****)



Bake until slightly browned on top.  About 35 minutes.  Cool the shortbread in the skillet.  When cool, use the foil to remove from the skillet.  Remove foil and place on plate...cut into wedges and enjoy.

Thanks Kathryn,

I wonder if adding Disoranno Almond Liqueur would kick it up a notch!? Will give it a try.
Dont see why it wont work!  Vanilla and Almond Flavorings have a high alcohol content....that does too!
OMG, I need a cigarette after eating some of that. I know I'll be making this again

How did it turn out?  From what I am reading...it was the yummmmm factor like I had!
 
Glad it worked and "did you proud"!  With all of the great foods we smoke...gotta have dessert!

I forgot to add that I didn't have any almond extract & didn't feel like taking the long road trip to get some so I used some really good vanilla extract in place of it. I am not by any stretch of the imagination a baking expert but it seemed to work ok...

Perfect!


The almond shortbread is very tasty & I will be making it again for sure (as well as the German cake - I make it quite frequently). Thanks again for the recipe Kat!

They both looked delish! Now you have to share the German one! Deal?
