Hi all,

My daughter got a stoneware shortbread mold, shaped like shallow
pieplate, and is having no success unmolding the cookies. I found
this instruction. Any more tips?

Mold Use Instructions: Prepare wooden (or ceramic) molds by lightly
brushing vegetable oil over all interior surfaces, being sure to
reach all the crevices and indentations. (A pastry or basting brush
works well for this task.) Lightly sprinkle flour over molds, tipping
them back and forth until all the crevices are coated, then inverting
and tapping them against a hard surface to remove all excess flour.
(A thin film works best and produces more attractive cookies.) The
molds must be redusted after each cookie, but do not need to be
re-oiled.

Thanks, and "Merry, merry!" to everybody,

Eleanora
