:prehistoric bites:
Willoughby made these dinosaurs (with a little help from his papa.) Normally I find it easy to resist eating the baking we do, because it’s for the children, right? Pre-kids we didn’t bother baking much, except for special occassions - but these days, with two hungry kids - we tend to ‘fill the tins’ a la the childhood many of you may have had, but I didn’t. My mother didn’t bake. If we were hungry we were offered crackers or fruit. (Oh sob sob, my tormented childhood. No fresh baking! Wail!)
But, anyway, shortbread is hard to resist. Which is why we only make it a few times a year. Usually we make oat based things like anzacs, flapjacks, also hokey pokey biscuits and afghans and chocolate chip cookies.
Note to parents of children obsessed with dinosaurs - buy dinosaur cutters! They will eat anything - pastry, bread, scones, biscuits, crackers, healthy oat slice…
if it is in the shape of a dinosaur. Rowr!
