Why I Love This Recipe

The holidays aren't complete without a batch of Scottish Shortbread, which are a hit at any type of gathering. Be warned, they can be addicting! My mom has made this for as long as I can remember. It is originally from her high school friend's stepmom.


Ingredients You'll Need

2 1/2 c. cake flour
1/2 c. super fine sugar (sometimes sold as ultra fine sugar)
1/2 c. rice flour
2 sticks butter


Directions

cut the butter into the other ingredients with a pastry blender


rub butter/sugar/flour mixture finely between your palms (do not use a mixer)


gather dough into a large ball and cut in quarters


hand flatten each quarter into rounds of 1/4" thickness


crimp edges with fork


bake 15 minutes at 350 then lower to 325 for 15 minutes or until light fawn color


remove from oven and immediately cut into wedges


leave on baking sheet until cool and not crumbly


*Note this is a very dry, but manageable dough - definitely worth the effort
