As I get older, the more I come to appreciate the idea that an afternoon cup of tea really needs a biscuit to go with it. For anyone who's met me, this does seem like a ridiculously civilised life observation, but this dainty combo is becoming one of life's simple pleasures that I look forward to when I hit the universal procrastination time of around 3pm.
One biscuit that I've recently become addicted to is Greek Shortbread- not in any way to be confused with the super-floury/buttery English version (in itself an excellent choice to go with your cuppa). I've tried a few different Greek Shortbreads at various markets, but these ones from Miss V Presents blows the others out of the Aegean Sea.
Miss V Presents Greek Shortbread- or Kourabiethes- has just the right balance of crumbly-ness and as it is made from almond meal, it has a lovely subtle nutty flavour. While icing sugar coatings are usually a bit too sweet for me, the light dusting really compliments these toasty biscuits.
Because these biscuits are so good, they did inspire me to power my way through some of Miss V's other creations including Persian Love Cake (full of pistacio-goodness), German Apple Cake (so buttery and delicious) and the amazing Portokalopita- a Greek cake made from filo pastry and orange that is loaded with syrup and out of this world.
Miss V can be found around various Jan Powers Brisbane Markets including the City markets and Mitchelton on the northside. Do yourself a favour and join the civilised movement with one of these creations!
