Shortbread is a rich, buttery, crumbly biscuit enjoyed in Scotland for centuries. The name 'shortbread' comes from the old meaning of 'short', referring to the crumbly texture of the biscuit. Its high-fat content, from the traditional one-part sugar to two-part butter ratio, results in a soft crumb. Shortbread is unique, because it doesn't contain leavening agents like baking powder or baking soda. Today, shortbread is often given as a gift on special occasions like Hogmanay, the Scottish New Year's celebration. With just four basic ingredients, shortbread is perfect for creating your own buttery delights at home that can last for weeks in an airtight container.  |

I wouldn't mind trying a traditional Scottish biscuit, not the mass produced ones in Canada.

Bought some packs for my stepson of the brand Walker's. It said that it was made according to an old Scottish family recipe, but still mass produced.

I think I only ever see shortbread on sale at Christmas time.
Did you stepson like them?

It's very expensive, though - more than 6 dollars for a 250g pack. Could be less online, even with the shipping included.
