This shortbread is slightly sweet–and simple to make featuring only a handful of ingredients. Incorporating sprouted, whole grain flour helps to increase the nutritive value and the digestibility of the sweet. As with all sweets, it’s best eaten in moderation and for special occasions only.

Hi! I was just wondering about the amount of salt needed for this recipe. The recipe simply states “1/4 Real Salt”. Is that 1/4 tsp? Just wanted to double check before trying the recipe. Thanks!
How thick did you roll this out?
Hi, I also was wondering what the measurement was on the salt–should that be 1/4 tsp? Thanks! 🙂
