Glasgow shortbread

Glasgow Shortbread is a traditional Scottish sweet, known for its crunchy texture and delicate flavor. Originally created in the 12th century, this cake was popularized in Scotland and became an essential element during Christmas celebrations and other holidays. In several Latin American countries, although it is not known by the same name, there are similar variations of butter cookies that share its essence: a perfect balance between butter and sugar that results in a sandy and smooth texture on the palate.

In places like Mexico or Argentina, recipes for buttery cookies that evoke shortbread can be found, although they usually have differences in ingredients or their preparation method. However, Glasgow Shortbread remains true to its origin with a simple but delicious recipe, which has transcended borders and generations thanks to its unique flavor and its versatility to accompany tea or coffee.

How to Make Glasgow Shortbread

In a large bowl, mix the sugar and butter together.

Then add about 3 cups of the combined flour just so you can remove the dough from the bowl and knead in the rest of the flour.

Knead the flour until the dough forms a smooth, round ball.

Almost with the consistency of marzipan or almond paste.

In summer, when doing this, you might need a bit more flour.

For two 8-inch cake pans: cut the dough ball in half.

Flatten the dough in the pan, making a smooth surface.

At this point, you can use a fork and prick the dough all over or use what looks like a butter mold.

Bake for one hour or until golden brown in an oven at 400 degrees.

Enjoy.
