Baking Lovers,
Today’s Christmassy treat traditionally comes from Scotland, and it is a family favourite of mine, with a nice cuppa in front of the TV in the evening on Christmas Day: Scottish Shortbread! Usually my Mum doesn’t have the time to make them herself, so I make them with my Nan when I go to pick her up on Christmas eve. It’s a little tradition of ours. I have adapted an easy to follow recipe I found online (link below), which makes baking these buttery, crumbly treats easier than you thought!
If you wanted to jazz them up a lil’, you could add in dried fruit or chocolate chips – depending on your taste. Unfortunately, these cannot be frozen, so they’re best made the day before you eat or give them as a present! Everyone loves to get yummy biscuits at Christmas because it is ALWAYS a “cheat day” and calories do not count!
It is important to get the balance between dry and wet ingredients right. If the biscuits have too much butter, they will be too soft and won’t bake right. Too little and they’ll be too dry to stay together.
To make the shortbreads you’ll need…
Making the biscuits…
These crumbly, yummy biscuits are so moreish that you might want to make several batches! Use an old biscuit tin to share with your family and friends around Christmas time, for a treat that no one can turn down. They aren’t heavy chocolate biscuits that you may usually receive as a present, so they’re great for when you want a little bit of something sweet to round off your Christmas foody celebrations.
Hope you enjoy this easy recipe!
Merry-almost-Christmas!
