History of Scottish Shortbread
Scottish shortbread is a traditional Scottish biscuit that is made with butter, sugar, and flour. It is believed to have originated in the 12th century, and it was originally a luxury food that was only eaten by the wealthy. However, over time, it became more popular and is now enjoyed by people of all social classes.
Shortbread is typically made with a simple dough that is rolled out and cut into rounds or fingers. It is then baked until it is golden brown. Shortbread is often served with tea or coffee, and it can also be used as a base for other desserts, such as trifle.
There are many different variations of shortbread, but the traditional recipe is still the most popular. Some common variations include adding flavorings such as vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg. Shortbread can also be made with different types of flour, such as whole wheat flour or oat flour.
Scottish shortbread is a delicious and versatile biscuit that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a staple of Scottish cuisine and is a must-try for anyone visiting Scotland.
