Scottish Shortbread image

Scottish settlers first came to this area over 150 years ago. My mother herself was Scottish, and-as with most of my favorite recipes-she passed this shortbread recipe on to me. I make a triple batch of it each year at Christmas, to enjoy and as gifts. -Rose Mabee, Selkirk, Manitoba

This shortbread is the perfect balance of sweet and salty. It's not too rich, and it's not too bland. It's just right.

I'm not sure why, but my shortbread always seems to stick to the pan. I've tried greasing the pan, but it doesn't seem to help.

I'm not a big fan of shortbread, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! This shortbread is really good. It's not too sweet, and it has a nice crumbly texture.

This shortbread is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my shortbread turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
