Edith McKenzie’s Shortbread

Shortbread is a classic Scottish dish, traditionally made using Marshalls Farola. It can be served with hot drinks as a warming treat or is equally enjoyable on its own. The dough can be made into small biscuits or the whole round.

For variety, try adding grated orange or lemon rind to the dough, or sprinkle the top with flaked almonds before putting into the oven.

This particular recipe has been kindly given to us by Edith McKenzie who has been making traditional Scottish Shortbread using Marshalls Farola for many years. She inherited the recipe herself and has permitted us to feature it on our recipe page.
