Scottish Shortbread Recipe
What's better for a Yule-tide celebration (or, if you are like me, ANYTIME celebration) than authentic shortbread? Simple, yet delicious. Goes great with earl grey tea.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 325°. Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add 3-3/4 cups flour; mix well. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead for 5 minutes, adding enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Roll to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut into 3x1 in. strips. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Prick with fork. Bake until cookies are lightly browned, 20-25 minutes. Cool. Yield: about 4 dozen.
