Recipe For Scottish Shortbread

Scottish Recipes > Scottish Shortbread


My thanks to John McIver from Edinburgh in Scotland for sending this recipe. Shortbread is one of my favourites, but I've never tried making my own. This recipe sounds simple, so I'll maybe give it a bash.

Scottish Shortbread :

INGREDIENTS

1 lb butter (unsalted)
1 cup white sugar
5 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

METHOD

When butter's at room temperature, beat until soft.

Add sugar and beat until smooth.

Mix flour in gradually using your hands, and round to about 1/2 inch thick.

Press dough into a round cake tin (lined with wax paper) and jab gently all over with a fork.

Bake in oven at 300 degrees for 40-50 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from heat, let cool in pan and sprinkle with sugar.
