Scottish Shortbread

Shortbread is a traditional Scottish biscuit, my mother's childhood recipe. It is very easy to make and results in a crunchy and tasty biscuit, especially with salted butter.

Dough Preparation

Ingredients

  • 200 gramsWheat flour
  • 100 gramsCornstarch
  • 100 gramsRefined sugar
  • 200 gramsCold butter with salt chunks

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, add the wheat flour, cornstarch, and refined sugar. Mix the dry ingredients well.

  2. 2

    Cut the cold butter (with coarse salt chunks, if possible) into small cubes and add to the bowl with the dry ingredients.

    Using your fingertips, rub the butter with the flour, incorporating it until a homogeneous dough forms, but still with some visible pieces of butter. This helps make the biscuit very crunchy and tasty. Continue rubbing until the dough is well mixed.
