About Short bread
Shortbread is a traditional Scottish biscuit made from a simple blend of butter, sugar, and flour, prized for its rich, crumbly texture and buttery flavor. Originating in Scotland during the 16th century, it was often associated with festive occasions and celebrations. Shortbread is inherently indulgent, as its high butter content contributes to its signature taste and texture but also makes it a calorie-dense treat. It is relatively low in protein and fiber, offering minimal nutritional benefits. However, its simplicity means it is free from artificial additives, making it a cleaner dessert option compared to more processed sweets. Shortbread can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet when consumed in moderation, typically alongside tea or coffee. While its richness is undeniably satisfying, mindful portion control is key to enjoying this beloved classic without overindulging.
