Walkers Stem Ginger Shortbread
What it is
This is a classic Scottish shortbread baked with pieces of candied stem ginger. The shortbread itself is made with butter, flour, and sugar, creating a rich and crumbly texture. The addition of stem ginger provides a distinct spicy-sweet flavor and a pleasant chewiness that complements the buttery base. It is a popular biscuit for enjoying with tea or coffee.
