NATIONAL SHORTBREAD DAY – January 6

National Shortbread Day

On January 6th, the United Kingdom's National Shortbread Day honors a classic Scottish dish that is enjoyed around the world.

Shortbread is a traditional Scottish dessert that is traditionally made with shortbread.

  • 1 part white sugar
  • 2 parts butter
  • 3 parts flour

Modern recipes deviate from the three ingredient rule by splitting the sugar portion into equal portions of granulated sugar and powdered sugar, as well as adding salt. Bakers often make shortbread using plain white (wheat) flour. However, some bakers alter the texture by using ground rice or cornflour.

Shortbread is gaining attention due to its crumbly texture. In a shortbread crumb, the butter results in a high-fat content. Any fat that can be added to produce a "short" (crumbly) texture is referred to in "short" (crumbly) texture.

Mary, Queen of Scots, is praised for the invention of the shortbread during the 16th century. The sweet cookie was reserved as a luxury for special occasions because it was costly to make.

They traditionally break a decorated shortbread cake over the head of a new bride's head at the entrance of her new home in Shetland (northeast of mainland Britain).
