no, I think lost-in-oz may be lost in translation LOL.
Make your shortbread dough as usual, dust mould with a little rice flour and press a round of dough into the mould, then gently release onto a tray and bake.

and quite rightly so. The English version of any word is used here, not the American.

Mold....Middle English molde, from Old French modle, molle, from Latin modulus, diminutive of modus, measure; see med- in Indo-European roots

Do you have anything at all to say about shortbread?That's what this thread is about...
Or do you just have a mould/mold fetish??
It's safe to come back to NZ, lost-in-oz.All is forgiven - unless they stop you at the border ;)

Hi there haven't read through all the posts but over the years I've bought several different types of wooden shortbread moulds from the local Scottish shop in Dunedin.Hope you can find some, they make your shortbread look awesome!

Back to spelling:- Concise Oxford doesn't even mention 'mold', Collins and Chambers both give 'mould' with " (US mold)" for both meaningspattern or fungus.Main heading "mold" says'see "mould" '.I haven't got a NZ or Oz dictionary.Now I hope I haven't made a mistake in apostrophes or spelling!!!!

sharee9, do you have access to a Stevens store!We saw some shortbread moulds there - don't think they were wooden though, porcelain if I remember correctly.:-))

I've got two old wooden ones, one segmented and one single (bought them ages ago because they were little pieces of kitchen art) but I've never used them.How do you use them!Do you roll the shortbread over the top, or press the mould on to the dough!

Leave it out on the bench long enough and it will grow MOULD all by itself.
If you want a MOLD.try any good homewares store.

And Mould is the US version
mould2 US, mold [məʊld] n 1. (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Botany) a coating or discoloration caused by various saprotrophic fungi that develop in a damp atmosphere on the surface of stored food, fabrics, wallpaper, etc. 2. (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Botany) any of the fungi that causes this growth vb (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Botany) to become or cause to become covered with this growth Also called mildew [dialect (Northern English) mowlde mouldy, from the past participle of moulen to become mouldy, probably of Scandinavian origin; compare Old Norse mugla mould
Its my pet hat when its used incorrectly.And seeing as how we were all taught the Queens English in school (if we went to school in NZ).It should be MOLD.
