Shortbread with Lemon Filling is a delightful dessert combining buttery shortbread crust and a tangy, sweet lemon curd center. Originating from Scottish cuisine, traditional shortbread is made with simple ingredients such as butter, sugar, and flour, which give it its rich flavor and crumbly texture. The lemon filling adds a refreshing citrus contrast, typically crafted from lemon juice, eggs, sugar, and sometimes a bit of cornstarch or butter for thickness and creaminess. While this treat is undeniably delicious, its high butter and sugar content means it’s calorie-dense and best enjoyed in moderation as an occasional indulgence. The lemon provides vitamin C, which is a nutritional perk, though it’s outweighed by the dessert's overall fat and sugar content. Perfect for special occasions, this dessert balances richness and zest for a satisfying bite, combining the comforting simplicity of shortbread with the vibrant tang of lemon.
