Phipps Famous Shortbread

Years ago there was a bakery in Toronto that specialized in shortbread, and one time The Star ( I believe) published a recipe for their Famous Shortbread. I tried it and loved it because it had a nuttiness to it, because the recipe required roasting the flour under the broiler before using it. Quite different. So far, I've never seen another recipe like that. In any event, I had not made this type for many years and when I tried to find the clipping in my recipe binder, no luck. So I went on line and lo and behold a recipe, quite like how I remembered it.

Made it yesterday. Quite nostalgic, crumbly  and rich, since it uses a pound of butter as well as fruit sugar and rice flour.
