Scottish Shortbread


My Daughter: “Oh, that’s good!” What she meant was so buttery, flaky and yummy.


Ingredients:

  • 2 c all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 c butter, softened
  • 1/2 c powdered sugar

Directions:

  1. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Beat butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes).
  3. Add flour mixture, beat at low speed just until the dough starts to come together.
  4. Place a piece of plastic wrap on the countertop and turn the dough out onto the plastic wrap.
  5. Squeeze the dough to shape it into a disk. Wrap tightly with the plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out the dough to about 1/2″ thickness.
  7. Cut the dough into rectangles and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
  8. Bake for about 18 minutes until just starting to brown at the edges.
