What it is
This is a classic Scottish shortbread made with a high proportion of butter. It has a rich, crumbly texture and a distinctively buttery flavor. The dough is typically made with just flour, butter, and sugar, resulting in a simple yet decadent biscuit. It is often baked in a round shape and scored into segments before baking, or cut into fingers or rounds. The quality of the butter is paramount to its taste and texture.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining shortbread in an airtight container at room temperature. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the container is sealed properly to prevent the biscuits from becoming stale or absorbing unwanted odors from the surrounding environment.
