1
2
Measure out 2 cups of almond meal or almond flour and put it in a mixing bowl.
3
Add the salt.
4
Add 3 Tbsp of honey.
5
And then add the butter. The butter should be a little bit soft. If it's still cold, just microwave it for about 30 seconds.
6
A spatula works great too, but the wooden spoon is a long held tradition for mixing shortbread. Mix until a homogenous but crumbly dough is formed.
7
Scatter the dough in an 8" x 8" anodized baking pan. Alternatively, you can use a ceramic baking dish, but you may need to bake for an extra 5 minutes or more. It's important here that your baking vessel is nonreactive, or it may react with the lemon juice and create off flavors.
8
Press the dough down and out to the corners. Smooth it out to an even thickness.
