Crumbly shortbread biscuits Crumbly shortbread biscuits

Make a healthier shortbread biscuit with the help of extra virgin olive oil from Spain. The EVOO allows the biscuit to hold its form while crumbling with each bite.

Shortbread Biscuits Dedicated to Yoshida Shortbread Biscuits Dedicated to Yoshida

My friend Yoshida asked me to make amazing shortbread that tastes just like the Walker's brand. I was able to make something that approached his expectations, but was limited by the butter I used and was troubled by the fact that I couldn't improve it further with the ingredients I had on hand. I wonder if these would turn out better if I used the butter they have over in Scotland.Try to use caster sugar. You can use either salted or unsalted butter. Please remember to reduce the amount of salt by a pinch when using salted butter. Using cultured butter will improve the flavor. These shortbread fingers are also delicious when made with whole wheat flour. Recipe by Yukiline

The first thing any Highland girl is taught to bake is shortbread. Here is the one my mother taught me. Just a few points to make in order for it to remain traditional, you must use butter and white sugar and do not add flavourings traditional shortbread is simple. I hope you enjoy :-) xxx
