Gran's Scottish Shortbread Recipe - 4 Ingredients! Glen And Friends Cooking
Gran's Scottish Shortbread Recipe - 4 Ingredients! Glen And Friends Cooking
Gran always said the secret to her shortbread recipe was using rice flour. You end up with an all butter shortbread that will just melt on your tongue, leaving a huge grin on your face. You can bake this shortbread recipe as rolled and cut-out cookies, or in a fancy stoneware shortbread mold... or as we've always done; a shaped round that is cut into wedges after cooking. This is a great egg free cookie recipe. Don't think of this as just a holiday cookie, or a Christmas cookie recipe - these are great all year round. A melt on your tongue rice flour shortbread recipe.
*In the early 1700s - to late 1800's Scotland was the centre of the global rice trade. Rice from Asia and from 'The Colonies' was imported to Scotland for processing and then traded on to the rest of Europe.
In 1775 alone more than 44,000. tons of rice were imported to Scotland from the Southern Colonies. That's just one year; and the numbers grow year over year until the late 1890s when trade shifted.
Some of that rice remained in the local Scottish economy and marketplace.*
Ingredients:
250 mL (1 cup) unsalted butter at room temperature
125 mL (1/2 cup) superfine or fruit sugar
125 mL (1/2 cup) rice flour
375 mL - 425 mL (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cup) all purpose flour
Method:
In a bowl cream the butter.
Gradually add sugar and beat until fluffy.
Gradually add rice flour and all purpose flour until the mixture is too difficult to mix with a spoon.
Turn onto a floured board and knead lightly, drawing in flour until the dough begins to crack.
Form into a ball, cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 150ºC (300ºF).
Cut ball into half.
Place one segment on one side of an un-greased baking sheet.
Pat the dough into a circular shape roughly 1/4 inch thick.
Take a fork and prick a lovely pattern onto the top of the dough.
Do the same for the second segment of dough.
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
When the dough is slightly golden remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
Cut into wedges and remove from baking sheet to cooling rack.
OR
Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick and cut into cookie shapes.
Place on an un-greased baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes in an oven set at 300ºF.

How to Make Shortbread for the Holidays - Hartstone Shortbread Mold
This was my first time making shortbread. Here is the recipe that conveniently came with the Hartstone Shortbread Mold:
1/4 cup of confectioners sugar (next time I will add a tablespoon extra)
1/4 cup fine granulated sugar
1 stick of butter (next time I will use salted butter and soften it to room temperature)
1/3 cup rice flour
1 - 2/3 cups of unbleached flour
Preheat oven to 325
Cream butter and sugar in large bowl.
Gradually incorporate flours with hands to butter-sugar mixture until dough is smooth. Do not overwork.
Pat dough into mold to thickness of 1/2 inch.
Bake approximately 40-45 minutes... (recipe calls for 1 hour but mine was lightly browning at 40 min.)
Let cool, then gently knife around perimeter to loosen it from the mold. Carefully remove to rack. (I flipped mine onto a cutting board after about 5 minutes cooling and then put it on a serving plate.)
Special thanks to Sue W. ???? for helping me find the vintage Hartstone Shortbread Mold and to Merry L. ???? for the cute Christmas linen. ????
Cranberry White Chocolate Shortbread Recipe Demonstration - Joyofbaking.com
Recipe here:
Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make Cranberry White Chocolate Shortbreads.
Cranberry White Chocolate Shortbreads have a wonderfully rich and buttery flavor and are bursting with dried cranberries and chunks of white chocolate. While shortbreads can be made in various shapes and sizes, we will follow tradition here and bake them in a round shape and then cut the round into wedges, called petticoat tails. The name petticoat tails refers to the shape of the shortbread wedges which look like the bell-hoop petticoats worn by court ladies in the 12th century.
