This comes together so quickly. I used fresh rosemary from the garden and felt it was a bit strong, a few days later it was perfect but next time I'm going to mince about half as much and try it that way. It still was delicious with a glass of wine.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups all-purpose flour

2/3 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary

1 teaspoon plus 1 pinch kosher salt

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted cold butter, cut into 1-inch chunks

1 to 2 teaspoons rosemary, chestnut or other dark, full-flavored honey (optional — I just use standard honey)

PREPARATION

Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, rosemary and salt. Add butter, and honey if desired, and pulse to fine crumbs. Pulse a few more times until some crumbs start to come together, but don't overprocess. Dough should not be smooth.

Press dough into an ungreased 8- or 9-inch-square or round baking pan or 9-inch pie pan. Prick dough all over with a fork. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes for 9-inch pan, 45 to 50 minutes for 8-inch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cut into squares, bars or wedges while still warm.

Note: I topped with some extra sugar as you can see from the photo – perfect taste and makes for a nice presentation. Since it is cut while still warm you can add extra sugar after-the-fact as well to get the look you want. I put some on before baking and some after.

THanks for sharing this Maria. I am trying to imagine the sugar on top with wine - what type did

have? I am always interested in trying new food and drink combos.
