TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH SHORTBREAD



Traditional Scottish Shortbread image

Perfectly crumbly, irresistibly buttery and wonderfully delicious, Scottish Shortbread has been a favorite treat for centuries!

Provided by Kimberly Killebrew

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
2 sticks (230 grams) quality unsalted butter
1/2 cup (120 grams) caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional Add-Ins:
Homemade Candied Ginger ((click link for recipe))
Homemade Candied Citrus Peel ((click link for recipe))
Other options include nuts, fresh herbs, dried cranberries, etc.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 8x8 or 9x9 inch square baking pan. You can also use a round cake can and cut the shortbread into triangles.
  • Place the caster sugar, flour, salt and butter in a food processor and pulse until it's combined and looks like coarse breadcrumbs but is soft and pliable and comes together in a dough when you press it together between your fingers. If it's too dry and crumbly it needs to be pulsed a bit longer. (If using any add-ins, stir them in at this point.)Pour the mixture into the greased baking pan. Use your fingers and hands to firmly press down the mixture. Note: If the mixture is too dry to work with, including pricking with a fork (see below), then it was not pulsed long enough in the food processor. Optional: Prick the shortbread with the tines of a fork, creating rows. Some people also like run a knife between each row of fork tines to make cutting the shortbread easier after it's baked. You can also prick the shortbread with a fork immediately after it is done baking while it is still warm; the holes will be more pronounced this way as they have a tendency to close during baking.
  • Place the shortbread on the middle rack and bake for 30-35 minutes or until light golden and firm. Let cool. Cut and serve.Store the shortbread in an airtight container for up to several weeks. Its flavor and texture improves over time.

HIGHLAND SQUARES



Highland Squares image

My mom used to make these all the time for an afterschool snack, but she got it from a 1930's church cookbook. The basic recipe makes a nice simple sweet when eaten alone, but the possibilities are endless. I've mixed in chocolate chips, or dried fruit to make more of a granola bar. It is also nice served warm with ice cream.
