1/4 tsp liquid stevia (or 1/4 cup more sugar)

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp vanilla extract

1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped, or 1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Equipment:

baking paper

plastic wrap

stand mixer

bowl

oven

wire rack

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

In a small bowl, stir the sugar, liquid stevia, orange zest, and vanilla bean seeds together. Allow to rest for a few minutes so the oils are released and flavors develop.In a medium bowl, stir the almond meal, buckwheat flour, and salt together. Set aside.In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar mixture together until light and fluffy. Slowly stir in the flour mixture, until a dough forms.Divide the dough in half, and form into two logs (you can make them round or rectangular, about 2 inches in diameter/wide). Wrap the logs in plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for about 20 minutes, until firm.While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350ºF, and line baking sheets with parchment paper.Once the dough is firm, unwrap, and cut into 1/4 inch slices, and place onto the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart.Bake at 350ºF for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set. Allow to cool on the pan slightly before removing to a wire rack to cool.While the cookies are cooling, make the glaze by stirring the orange juice and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Add the powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until it is your desired thickness (not too runny, but not stiff).Drizzle or spread each shortbread piece with the glaze, and sprinkle with orange zest. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator (they will keep their texture best this way).

Food Trivia

To add nutrition, a lot of milk, juice, and yogurts enrich the food with EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids. In other words, your OJ contains fish oil.

Food Joke

A brain walks into a bar and says, "I'll have a pint of beer please." The barman looks at him and says "Sorry, I can't serve you." "Why not?" askes the brain. "You're already out of your head."
