Of course, there exists many deviations from the original recipe, but if you want true Scottish shorties, it’s best to stick to this age-old formula.

Shortbread is delicious on its own but can be more luxurious if dipped into melted chocolate.
Mix sugar well with butter that has softened at room temperature before gently working in the flour until combined.
If forming into fingers, cut into 2cm by 5cm rectangles and place on baking tray, then prick each finger with a fork.
