It is SO easy and so delicious - I must admit I use Vanilla Bean Paste instead of the vanilla beans (so expensive in Australia)and now I can make it again. I made at least 5 batches last year! I love your blog.

I love this particular one but just forgot about them this year. <BR/>Mmmm, and I must say, I´m a bit envious of your Vanilla shortbread ;) I´ve made them twice and they do taste great, but mine just doesn´t look this perfect!! I mean, mine doesn´t look perfect at all...they look "homemade":D <BR/>Thanks for being an inspiration for so many of us, KJ !<BR/><BR/>xxvonsachsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04625617905859338578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7405885220386372262.post-73037707323554198112007-08-21T12:02:00.000-07:002007-08-21T12:02:00.000-07:00Deborah, I hope you enjoy your friters!Lydia, hee ...Deborah, I hope you enjoy your friters!<BR/><BR/>Lydia, hee hee!<BR/><BR/>Ilana, I have a favourite shortbread that I make that I'll blog in the future I hope, but Nigella's shortbread here is a really good partner to desserts, not too thick and full of vanilla and sugar!<BR/><BR/>Brilynn, if only I had a vegetable patch!<BR/><BR/>Nora, the mint yog really made the fritters for me, and it's funny you should say you bake yours, I was really close to doing just that!<BR/><BR/>KJ, Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Hi Andreea! Nigella's recipe is really easy :)<BR/><BR/>Anna, I'm really bad at making something and then forgetting about it, if I hadn't seen fritters about in the bloggin world they would probably had remained forgotten!<BR/><BR/>Patricia, Thank you :)<BR/><BR/>Cheryl, I love shortbread too :)<BR/><BR/>Lynn, I think it'd be called a jelly roll pan in the US, it's a flat tin 9" x 12.5" x 1 inch deep (inside measurements, as opposed to outer edges.<BR/><BR/>Tanna, yes that sounds the same, the big holes are just huge! There isn't a make on the grater and I can't remember from the shop.<BR/><BR/>Peabody, got to have at least one fool a summer!<BR/><BR/>KJxxKelly-Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065013581800789438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7405885220386372262.post-219725804824304802007-08-19T20:35:00.000-07:002007-08-19T20:35:00.000-07:00Oh rhubarb fool, that sounds so light and tasty.Oh rhubarb fool, that sounds so light and tasty.Peabodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16153432137711301559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7405885220386372262.post-66006382296660447122007-08-18T13:08:00.000-07:002007-08-18T13:08:00.000-07:00Kelly-Jane I have your mama grater IF on one side ...Kelly-Jane I have your mama grater IF on one side the holes are bigger than any I've seen on other graters.
