A Growing Recipe Library

Beginning in February 2026, volume measurements were added to most new recipe files as a courtesy. Older recipes may contain metric measurements only, and be in a previous format before we switched to downloadable PDFs. All formulas are developed and tested using metric measurements, which should always be considered the primary and most accurate version of the recipe. For volume conversions, please use a trusted online conversion tool as needed.

Cornbread shortbread tray

There’s something incredibly nostalgic about the tender, crumbly texture of cornbread — but this isn’t your average slice. This Cornbread Shortbread Tray takes inspiration from old-fashioned southern bakes, biscuit bars, and café crumb cakes, layering the warmth of cornmeal into a soft, buttery shortbread base. It’s not a cookie, not a cake — it falls beautifully in between, with golden edges and a delicate cornmeal crumble baked on top for texture.

Perfect for slicing into squares or bars, this tray bake leans sweet but not too sweet, with a hint of honey and a bakery-style richness that makes it shine on its own or dusted with icing sugar. It’s one of those recipes that feels rustic and comforting, but still worthy of a pastry box lineup. Whether you serve it warm with whipped honey butter or chilled with a dollop of compote, it’s designed to feel like a hidden gem straight from the back counter of your favorite bake shop.
