PECAN TOFFEE SHORTBREAD

Shortbread topped with pecan studded toffee. Mmm... delicious! You can omit the cornflour and swap it for more plain flour if you wish, but the cornflour gives the shortbread a lighter texture.

COUSINS' WEEK PIE (TOFFEE SHORTBREAD)



Cousins' Week Pie (Toffee Shortbread) image

When my nephews and niece were young, they came to visit during the Summer. Some Summers there were only 2 of them, but once all 7 were here. I loved cooking for them. They especially liked "Cousin's Week Pie" This is the richest desert I know, a pie serves 16! You might even want to ask your physician if he would approve a slice for you, or perhaps, a half slice.
