About Homemade shortbread
Homemade shortbread is a classic treat originating from Scotland, known for its buttery texture and simple yet indulgent flavor. Traditionally made with just three key ingredients—flour, butter, and sugar—its hallmark lies in its rich and crumbly consistency. While shortbread can trace its roots back to medieval times, it remains a beloved staple in British and Scottish cuisine, frequently enjoyed during holidays or with tea. Nutritionally, shortbread is calorie-dense and high in fat, primarily from the butter, making it an indulgent rather than health-focused option. It is relatively low in protein and fiber, offering limited satiety. However, its minimalist ingredient list ensures no added artificial preservatives or chemicals, and it can be tailored with whole-grain flour for a slightly healthier twist. Homemade shortbread is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
