Lemon and Thyme Shortbread (vegan)
The combination of lemon and thyme work extremely well in these heavenly vegan shortbread biscuits.
The exterior is crisp, while the interior remains soft and crumbly. And in my opinion, that is exactly how a shortbread biscuit should be. The texture and mouthfeel come from the use of the oil in the recipe, which ‘shortens’ the gluten strands caused by mixing the flour with liquids – this is the only way to get this kind of crumbly texture.
This recipe can be prepared in about one hour…from that urge to eat a biscuit, to actually eating one!
