Product Information

In American English, shortbread is different from shortcake. [16] Shortcake usually has a chemical leavening agent such as baking powder, which gives it a different, softer texture, and it was normally split and filled with fruit. [16] The most popular example of this difference is strawberry shortcake. [16] [17] Ingredients [ edit ] These really are best served at room temperature. The texture is much better with the caramel being softer and the chocolate being silky. The flavours also come together better and stand out, especially if you've added any variations.

Shortbread or shortie is a traditional Scottish biscuit usually made from one part white sugar, two parts butter, and three to four parts plain wheat flour. Shortbread does not contain any leavening, such as baking powder or baking soda. Shortbread is widely associated with Christmas and Hogmanay festivities in Scotland, and some Scottish brands are exported around the world. Butter - salted or unsalted butter are both great here. They both work and you will barely notice a difference. It's hard to believe that these 6 simple ingredients turn into these rich and sweet millionaire shortbread bars, but that's all it takes! BTW- these are also commonly referred to as caramel shortbread, caramel squares, caramel slice, millionaire's shortbread, millionaire's slice, chocolate caramel shortbread, and Wellington squares!And if you're not sure what these are they can be described as biscuit confectionery item composed of a shortbread biscuit base topped with caramel and milk chocolate, or white chocolate in our case!

In British English, shortbread and shortcake were synonyms for several centuries, starting in the 1400s; both referred to the crisp, crumbly cookie-type baked good, rather than a softer cake. [16] The "short-cake" mentioned in Shakespeare's play The Merry Wives of Windsor, first published in 1602, was a reference to the cookie-style of shortbread. [16]And finally, place the tray into the preheated oven and bake at 170ºC /325ºF for 10- 12 minutes or until firm, but not brown. In the UK tax code, shortbread is taxed as a flour confection (baked good) rather than as a common biscuit. [3] See also [ edit ] Orange - add the zest of an orange to the shortbread mix before baking and add a tablespoon of orange juice to the caramel while it bakes.
