Thank you for watching Martha Bakes! Come back every Friday at 10AM Eastern as we present full and segmented original episodes from all 11 seasons of Martha Bakes, originally aired on PBS. What are your favorite creative ways to serve shortbread over the holidays?

One of my favorite people making one of my favorite cookies, “It’s a good thing!”

Here’s one for you. Recipe came fromScotswoman from Edinborough. She and a friend experimented with American flours until they found the exact amount flour to use and type of flour. They used WONDRA FLOUR. ALmOST 3 cups and 1/4 cup of regular purpose flour like Gold Meal. Honest to god, it tasted like the imported shortbread . Butter unsalted 2 cups, blended with 2 cups white sugar, then add by tablespoon the two different flours adding them alternately one TBL at a time. I just used a fork to blend till it looks like damp sand. Dump it in a jelly roll pan or regular cookie sheet, the kind with a lip. Then pat it all down. So it lays smooth and flat. Then take your fork and with the tines, stick gently on the top of the dough , poking holes on the top takes longer to do this than the mixing. Holes are about 1/4 inch apart on the entire cookie sheet. Then put in preheated 350* oven for 35-40 mint Ute s j til light brown on edges. While hot, sprinkle with little sifter or with Unger’s some granulated sugar over all the cooked shortbread. Let it cool about 3-4 minutes, then slice it to the size you want, from 1-2 inches, squares, rectangles, doesn’t matter. You MUST STORE IN A METAL TIN. USUALLY CAN BUY CHEAP NEAR XMAS TIME. I cut the size based on how they would fit in the storage tin. After cutting, let pan cool completely down before packed in tin. I can fit all the cookies in one BIG TIN OR TWO MEDIUM TINS. IT PACKS WELL FOR SHIPPING. OUT OF THIS WORLD. I GIFT A LOT OF IT FOR HOLIDAYS. IT COULD LAST A MONTH OR TWO IF YOU CAN HIDE IT. WONDERFUL WITH TEA OR COFFEE. BREAKFAST OR LATE NIGHT SNACK. MEN JUST LOVE IT. I LOVE THIS VERSION. BUT IT MUST BE WONDRA FLOUR IT USES ALMOST THE ENTIRE CANISTER MINUS 1/4 cup. I misplaced my little recipe book , but it’s a standard recipe almost identical to yours, only I use Wondra flour. Try it. I guarantee you will love it.

Ah, Martha. Ive always loved her despite her often-tarnished reputation, because she really is humbler than most narrow-minded people think. She has always stood by her brand which makes her one of the most admirable contributers to her audience and the world. (eg. I bought her "Everyday" chef's knife at KMart in the late 80's which is still sharp and remains my go-to knife). This episode made me want to be in her warm kitchen watching the Master. The lemon bars look so easy.

I love Martha Stewart! Everything she makes is perfect. I grew up with her amazing tutorials.

Martha Bakes is my new favorite series!! I'm so glad they are releasing the episodes weekly!!😄😄😄

I LOVE the idea of using the tart pan; I have seen many recipes, but none ever instructed that method. Also, covering dough with plastic wrap to smooth it is genius! Cannot wait to try!

I wish Martha had time to teach us more often. I love her lessons. Martha you're simply the best.

I watch Martha Stewart baking videos as my meditation 🧘‍♂️ time to escape from the world

My grandparents LOVE shortbread, I make shortbread from them for Christmas every year.

Shortbread is traditionally Scottish. We don't use powdered sugar as it makes the biscuits too pale, which is not as nice as a light golden colour that caster sugar creates.

Shortbread cookies are my favorite cookies so u decided to make them. I made this on a Saturday ,doubled the recipe so 2 pans. I gave 2 pieces away and the rest I ate all by myself and it they were all gone by Wednesday night.Yummy. It’s not Thursday I’ll be making 2 more pans tonight. Thanks Martha . ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The trick the with torch to get rid of bubbles is great, but she hasn't heard of the old tappa tappa

thank you for sharing your recipe with me and this is very helpful for me as a beginner.. salamat.. from Legazpi city Philippines

Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas/recipes with us. Happy Holidays from Texas. thumbs up from a long time fan.

Words I never thought I'd hear from Martha: "Get your husband to make you a template..." So, anyway, I'm very inspired to make shortbread as I love it but have never thought to make it myself for some reason. AND I will make my own template as Martha has so well taught me through the years :)

❤watching martha books magazines all these years ❤

Hello from Melbourne Australia. Love you Martha 🥰

I really enjoy watching Martha Bakes! Great recipes and easy to follow! I appreciate the tips, as well.

She is brilliant! I just got into cooking this month thanks to her, I rushed to get that Stand Mixer on QVC before they sold out lol

I am so glad to get to see these again , I always loved your shows!

Thank you aunt Martha 💯 I'm planning on making the spiced brown sugar shortbreads for the holidays!

I’m so excited about this show! My favorite dessert are shortbread cookies!!!

Thank you Martha for sharing. Theses are my favorite cookies!

You make life more enjoyable, Martha. You truly make me believe in bigger and better things.

I make my shortbread by hand. I don’t have a mixer lol.

When I seen this notification my first thought was Snoop Dogg. I just bet he loves all Martha's cookies. Kia ora from Aotearoa, New Zealand 😋

I adore you Miss Martha!!!! Thank you sooooo much for sharing this recipe, I have been wanting one for some people coming to my home, and they love shortbread. You have a very happy subscriber, and will continue to be so!! Thank you again, stay safe and God bless!!

You are what I understand by an Authentic American ! ❤️

Plugra is lterally so good! I have been using it for years and can vouch, wholeheartedly!

Hey Martha! Big fan. I always have loved shortbread. I made the wedges. Fantastic! I'm afraid I'll eat the whole thing!

One of my favorites! Shortbread cookies. Thank you for recipe 😊

Love you Martha Stewart! You are amazing

How does Martha Stewart NOT HAVE MILlLIONS of SUBSCIBERS? KZfaq, are you cheating? This Woman is astonishing.

I'm drooling as the butter browns, I can't wait to try this recipe YUM

Martha, make your own template for whatever size you are using for the day, with a potato and some wood picks. I am definitely on the shortbread lovers team. Can't wait to make the lemon squares though.

Thanks Martha I always love watching you. I learn so much. Thank you again.

Thank you Martha; you are the best!💟

Always love shortbread cookies they always were and still so delicious

Wow thats so simple n looking delicious

Thank you for the lemon bar recipe, Martha.

Thank you Martha For teaching us How to make short bread I am just so delayed with the results I could never make short bread

Short means no waiting for yeast to rise in your dough

oh Marthe used match to light her stove, how classic! I like that!

Excellent recipe, Thanks for sharing.

I love Martha Bakes! Thank you for sharing, I can’t wait to make all three of these recipes. Yum!

Love watch these shows Thanks

I love how she says "Plus gras"... it took me a while to recognise the words! It means "fattier" and not "more grease". "More grease" would be "Plus de graisse"

thank you very much , you are extraordinary and gorgeous teacher, I escape all your recipes.

My mouth is watering Martha, Thankyou for sharing this recipe

This queen makes me want to BAKE.

Great tutorial video - thx for sharing these amazing recipes - happy holidays Martha&family!

Love these! Are these recipes in one of her cookbooks? Does anyone know which one?

As usual another success! But you forgot to put the links for the ustensiles you used specifically the Italian big stainless sugar store box .thanks

I have 4 lemon trees that are just starting to ripen. Time for lemon bars!!!

I love shortbread

The best i ever warched, She remineds me of my high school friend named martha .

Can't wait to try these

Thank Martha I enjoy watching you bake

Hello from Washington State!! 😁 Thank you for video 💐🌹🌷🎄

Would I be able to chill, roll and use an embroidered rolling pin for this recipe?

Everything looks delicious....thank you to Martha for the recipes.💛🎄💛

I instead buy the Walkers shortbread! Yum 🤤

Can I simply double this recipe if I plan to use a 10x15 pan? Cooking time?

Martha how long should I chill the shortbread wedges dough?

what lemon zester is that, I need one!!

😭Girl Scout Short bread cookies is a once a year find, can't find any better 😭

3 questions: how many mls is in a yeast pkg., how much water to yeast, how long to double the dough in size. I guessed and/or googled all three and my dough came out great but to save time...

Bravissima Marta ! 🇮🇹

Love that I also have my own chickens so my eggs LOOK JUST LIKE MARTHAS BLUE GREEN DARK BROWN, light brown with dark spots and white I love it we’re totally twins 👯‍♀️ 👯‍♀️ 👯‍♀️ Martha!!!! 👯‍♀️

I would very much like if Martha Stewart bed sheets could be sold again. they were percale and the best. ah me sob

In the lemon bars I wonder if lemon zest could have been added to the shortbread as well or would the oils hamper the firming up of the shortbread?

For cardio vascular health and to prevent metabolic syndrome,is it possible to do good tasty cookies without butter full of saturated fat,flour with its lectin and gluten.Millet and Sorgham flour has no lectins.No sugar as it is neurotoxic,addictive and cause hyper insulin anemia as whole blood sugar in blood is only 4 grams and body work hard to keep normal blood sugar.Please use your great experiences and knowledge to make it healthy to keep us lean,clean,well.Thank you,very grateful and may God bless you.

Hello Martha, Beautiful recipes and I like your calmness and good hygiene too. Love it 😍

Love all these videos. Keep them coming!

Will this work well with ground hazelnuts?

I understand you most likely use the glass mixing bowl for your audience, but which would you recommend for personal use; glass, stainless steel or ceramic?

movie was made about her. and she still looks so young!

Shortbread Cookies are the best. Just go easy on the sugar!

Martha, I don't need my husband to make me a template to poke the holes for the shortbread cookies. I can make the template myself. lol

Merry Christmas Martha. I would love to hang out with you and Snoop Dog. Then I could cross it off my bucket list. ❤️ from Bermuda.

Thanks Martha Stewart

I love the way you bake Ms. Martha yummy yum stay safe sweetie 🙏🏾👋🏾💖😇

thank you for this video

She’s excellent is my favorite

Good gosh I just looked up her age 79!

Delicioso gracias por su receta Martha Stewart 😊💜

Love! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Martha, 9.5-inch tart pans are easier to find than 10-inch tart pans. In this video and the full recipe for Traditional Shortbread, are you using a 9.5-inch tart pan and calling it a 10, or are you using an actual 10-inch tart pan? Thanks for considering my persnickety question. I'd like to give my shortbread the best chance of coming out as lovely as yours did!

Beautiful and Tasty Lemon bars 💯👍

The cups Martha uses look very big to me. The cups I have from the brand Joseph Joseph are 250 milliliter. I wonder how big those cups are...Or maybe Martha has very tiny hands? Looks delicious though.

Hello everyone Good food i like look everyday Eating Delicious ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Can I use salted butter and omit the salt in the recipe or will it be too salty?

Short meaning no leavening.
