About Shortbread biscuits

Shortbread biscuits are a classic treat originating from Scotland, renowned for their rich, buttery flavor and crumbly texture. Traditionally made with just three main ingredients—flour, butter, and sugar—they are celebrated for their simplicity and indulgence. Shortbread biscuits can be enjoyed plain or flavored with additions like vanilla, lemon zest, or spices. While they provide a quick source of energy due to their carbohydrate content, they are high in saturated fat and sugar, making them best enjoyed in moderation. The absence of eggs or leavening agents makes shortbread suitable for certain dietary restrictions, but it’s not especially high in essential nutrients. This timeless snack is often served with tea or coffee and is a popular choice during holidays and festive occasions.
