A question I know you can answer. I have one of those fancy pans that have a design on the bottom made especially for shortbread. I've used it several times and when I turn the shortbread out, the design isn't crisp and hardly visible. Do you have any suggestions on how I can make this work to have the pretty design. I believe I got the pan from KA. Shirley, it's tough to get the design to be sharp. You could try substituting some shortening for the butter, but then you lose the taste. Be sure to bake thoroughly, as the design seems to show up a bit better on a darker crust. Also, try emailing bakers@kingarthurflour.com; our baker's hotline folks might have some advice, something I'm not thinking of. Good luck - PJH
