For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a pinch of cardamom to the shortbread crust. If you don't have a food processor, you can cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingertips. Make sure your butter is properly softened for the best shortbread texture. Garnish with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant touch.

Jun 27, 2025The shortbread crust was a little crumbly for me, but the taste was amazing. Next time, I'll try chilling the dough before pressing it into the tart pan.
