SCOTTISH SHORTBREAD

Scottish settlers first came to this area over 150 years ago. My mother herself was Scottish, and-as with most of my favorite recipes-she passed this shortbread recipe on to me. I make a triple batch of it each year at Christmas, to enjoy and as gifts. -Rose Mabee, Selkirk, Manitoba

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 160°C/gas 3.
  • Lightly grease baking tray or place a piece of baking paper over the tin (to stop the unlikely event of the Shortbread sticking).
  • Place sifted flour and sugar into bowl and mix together.
  • Dice the margarine and gradually rub into flour until breadcrumbs.
  • Add vanilla essence and carry on rubbing in with fingertips.
  • When the mixture sticks together, place on floured workspace and gently knead until a soft ball.
  • Roll out until 1.5 cm in thickness, then cut into Shortbread fingers or petticoat tails. (Using a biscuit cutter is a good way to get a more defined shape)
  • Prick all over with a fork or a cocktail stick and (for petticoat tails) mark the edges as well.
  • Place in the oven for 15-20 mins and then leave to cool. (Make sure you take the Shortbread out when it is starting to darken round the edges of the biscuit)

The history of shortbread goes back to at least the 12 th century and originally started life as ‘biscuit bread’; biscuits that were made from left-over bread dough that was sometimes sweetened and dried out in the oven to form a hard, dry rusk. This practise took place over the whole of the British Isles, not just Scotland.
