Short'nin' Bread

Submitted by mollypaul

"There used to be a nursery rhyme: "Mammy's little baby loves short'nin', short'nin', Mammy's little baby loves short'nin' bread. This recipe will make more of a shortbread cookie that requires very cold milk or a good cup of tea. From the Southern chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947."
