Paterson's Shortbread Fingers 300g | Scottish Shortbread

Paterson's shortbread fingers, 300g. Proper Scottish shortbread: butter, flour, sugar and nothing else asking for attention.

Shortbread lives or dies on the butter content, and the difference between a good one and a cheap one is immediately obvious. It should be crumbly rather than hard, and it should taste of butter rather than of sugar.

The finger shape is the practical one: it dunks without breaking off in the mug, which the round petticoat tails do not manage nearly as well.

Product Details

• 300g pack
• Traditional Scottish shortbread
• Crumbly rather than hard
• Finger shape suits dunking

Paterson's have been baking shortbread in Scotland since 1895, and the recipe is deliberately simple because there is nothing to hide behind.

Keep the pack sealed. Shortbread goes soft rather than stale, and once the crumb has gone there is no recovering it.

Shortbread also keeps considerably better than most biscuits, since there is nothing in it to go off.
