Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degree. Line a 9x13” glass or ceramic pan with parchment paper, allowing 1” of overhang on the long sides.
- For shortbread - In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle, mix the cold butter with flour, sugar, and salt at medium speed until a crumbly dough forms (about 6 minutes). Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan in an even layer. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
- Bake the shortbread for 25 minutes until golden brown. Rotate the pan from front to back halfway through baking. Transfer to wire rack and let cool completely.
- For walnut caramel – In a medium saucepan melt the butter over moderate heat. Whisk in the honey, both sugars and salts and the vanilla. Cook stirring occasionally, until the caramel reaches 220 degrees on a candy thermometer (2-3 minutes). Carefully add the cream and cook until the mixture reaches 238 degrees (3-4 minutes). Stir in all the walnuts and cook until fragrant and toasty and slightly thickened (about 3 minutes).
- Pour the walnut caramel over the shortbread and let cool completely. Using the parchment paper, lift onto a cutting board. Cut into bars and serve.

Season with salt. 4. Stir in butter or olive oil using either a spoon, silicon spatula, or whisk. If polenta forms lumps, beat vigorously with a stiff whisk to remove. If polenta becomes too firm or begins to set, add a small amount of water, stock, or milk, and beat in with a whisk until fully incorporate and no lumps remain. 5. Serve right away with accompaniment of your choice, or scrape into a vessel and chill until set, then cut into pieces for grilling, searing, or frying.
- Add stock and wine to a large stock pot and bring to a boil. Whisk in cornmeal, whisking well to ensure there are no lumps.
