Shortbread has its history from Scotland and more recently from the United Kingdom. Shortbread is basically made of butter, sugar and flour. It gets its name short bread because of the limited amount of ingredients used to make this biscuit. It’s texture tends to be a bit dry and crumbly, but they do taste wonderful with a cup of hot tea. History shows that it was expensive to make; therefore, shortbread was reserved for special occasions such as weddings or holidays.
