It *was* literally just butter and sugar mixed together, with a bit of flour to hold it together and some semolina to make it crunchier. I get better every time I try making shortbread, but I still haven't quite cracked it - these last ones tasted good but they were a bit soft...

Try varying the butter you use: either swap salted for un- or vice-versa. I would suggest putting lard in with the butter but, what with you being a raving vegee, that's not going to work! ;P

I'll try unsalted next time then, thanks :) My third attempt was half butter, half that butter-like substance that just says "Baking" on it, because I didn't have enough butter at the time... and it didn't taste nearly as good as the all-butter ones.

If switching to unsalted butter fails, I guess soft shortbread isn't the end of the world anyway *g*

Cakes have got to be the Lucifer of every diet. Also, why is it that good food always appears when you know you can't have it? Dieting is the devils work, I tell you!
