CANADIAN MAPLE SHORTBREAD



Canadian Maple Shortbread image

This is a variation of Shortbread that has a uniquely Canadian flavour! It is much like the Scottish shortbread with it's rich creamery butter flavour combined with Canada's maple syrup. It requires two separate steps: making the maple butter and making the shortbread. It's an easy recipe to make and I hope you enjoy it.

Time 1h

Yield 36 2inch cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

2/3 cup maple syrup (use the real thing!)
1 cup butter, at room temperature (use butter, not margarine)
3/4 cup maple butter
2 cups flour
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Maple butter: In a small saucepan, bring the maple syrup to a boil and reduce by half (this should take about 15 minutes) Remove from heat and let it stand at room temp.
  • When it is cool, add the butter and stir or gently whisk until well blended.
  • Place in frigde until firm.
  • This makes about 3/4 cup.
  • Shortbread: In a food processor or blender, combine the maple butter, flour and salt.
  • Use the pulse setting to combine well the ingredients.
  • Take it out of the blender/food processor and shape it into a ball.
  • Flatten it to a disc shape.
  • Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until well chilled.
  • Preheat oven to 350F and position rack to centre of oven.
  • Remove dough from the fridge and roll it out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  • Cut dough into desired shapes (I use a maple leaf shaped cookie cutter... very Canadian, eh?) Place cookies on ungreased cookie sheet and bake until slightly golden brown (about 10-15 min, depending on your oven).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This means using real butter, not margarine, and using good quality flour and sugar.
  • Make sure your butter is cold. This will help to keep the shortbread from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Work the dough quickly. Overworking the dough will make the shortbread tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the shortbread from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the shortbread until it is golden brown. Overbaking will make the shortbread dry and crumbly.
  • Let the shortbread cool completely before cutting it. This will help to prevent the shortbread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Canadian shortbread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. Made with just a few simple ingredients, shortbread is a versatile cookie that can be enjoyed on its own or with your favorite toppings. Whether you are a fan of classic shortbread or want to try something new, there is a recipe in this article that is sure to please.
