What it is
These shortbread triangles are a classic biscuit made with a simple dough of flour, butter, and sugar. They are baked until golden brown and have a crumbly texture that melts in your mouth. The high butter content gives them a rich, satisfying flavor that is characteristic of traditional shortbread. They are often enjoyed as a simple treat or with a cup of tea.

These shortbread triangles are ready to eat straight from the package. They are perfect for an afternoon snack or to accompany a hot beverage.
