When I was about ten or eleven, an old Scottish woman (who by the way used to drink vodka while visiting and called it “holy water”, gave name her cherished recipe for short bread and taught me how to make it. I was in 4-H cooking and she thought I should use her shortbread recipe for my fair entry. I did and it went so far as to win first place at the local fair and first place at the state fair. Now at 69, I still carry on her legacy for shortbread and give her full credit for it when I make it.

Rik, just listening to you I get the impression that you are a trained professional, who has cooked over the world, and taught many people to join your profession. Even the way you format your recipes reminds of of how pro chefs used to create their notebooks. Furthermore, I find your recipe descriptions to enjoyable as well. You're not just helping people get their nostalgia kick. You're quietly telling them about what it was like in the very tough Good Old Days. You have the makings of a storyteller about you, and focusing those around a recipe gives us something more than just food. Just my 2 cents.

[@BackyardChef]

Wow! You have a clear vision and thank you for sharing! Let's not make it all complicated is my way. Folks need to cook - times are changing full circle - there could be shortages and if folks have confidence they can make a good meal from various ingredients. Its not all posh nosh - its about enjoying what we have. You my friend are amazing! Best, Rik

[@gustavmeyrink_2.0]

There is a very nice German version of this called 'Heidesand'. The major difference is that in the German version you would melt and brown the butter making beurre noisette as the French call it before making the dough. Otherwise it is pretty much the same but you can add some vanilla essence as well. Traditionally you would shape the dough into a thick sausage, refrigerate overnight and cut it into rounds before baking.

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks for sharing - it sounds absolutely amazing. Best, rik

[@gustavmeyrink_2.0]

@@BackyardChef They are very, very nice indeed. The browned butter adds a nutty depth to the flavour but they are also scarily expensive if you buy them from a bakery. I might start making some tonight as I am salivating thinking of them. ;) PS: German bakeries are on a different level! If you got some spare time google images of them and be amazed but what would expect from a country that has well over 1200 different types of bread!

My mom and I have Scots-Irish lineage from her side of the family. I don't know about anyone else on her side, but she and I love shortbread cookies. As of this Christmas, it's just her and I doing any kind of celebration, as my father very recently passed. (It's okay, though. You don't have to feel bad for us. He didn't exactly manage money well, and hid way too much from her. I'd go so far as to say he was a covert narcissist, the way he actually treated us both.) So, be that as it may, I want to make this Christmas as lovely for her as I can without spending a lot of money. She'd rather have something from the heart than something lavish, anyway. She's always been like that. I came across this video, and I knew it would be perfect. She's not a big coffee or tea person, but she loves hot cocoa, as do I. This may be my last Christmas with her, just because her health isn't the greatest. But whether it is or not, I love that I found something of our heritage to make. 😁

[@HermannKerr]

My mother always had some rice flour for crispiness and the sugar she used is finer than regular sugar (I assume that is what you are calling caster sugar) called berry sugar. Her rule of thumb is when you think you have worked it enough work it some more. It is made like refrigerated cookies, rolled, chilled, cut 1/4", pricked with a fork and baked. I don't make it anymore as it just tastes like more.

[@BackyardChef]

Do you think she may have used icing sugar - sugar ground into a powder? That is sometimes used in pastry. Best, Rik

[@HermannKerr]

@@BackyardChef No, it was berry sugar, a finer granulated sugar, (and there was some best brown sugar [no longer available but regular soft brown sugar will do] as well). I do know what icing sugar is. I became the official shortbread maker in the family. My relatives on my father's side of the family said it was better than my Scottish grandmother's shortbread. My mother's recipe comes very close to Walkers texture and mouth feel. My mother got the recipe from a Scottish nurse she was working with in Vancouver a very long time ago, around the time I was born. I give the recipe away to preserve it and it is written with an embedded story by me.

[@BackyardChef]

All sounds amazing - thanks for sharing. Best, Rik

[@BarneyBoy365]

My Scottish Nanna also used rice flour, half of which was ground rice…gave it a more traditional, grittier mouth feel. So 2/3 regular flour, 1/3 the two rice flours. She always described commercial shortbread made without ground rice as confectionery 😂

[@HermannKerr]

@@BarneyBoy365 my mothers was 4 cups of AP flour to 1/4 rice flour - the other ingredient were 1 pound unsalted butter, 1 cup of berry (fine granulated but not icing) sugar, 1/4 cup of soft brown sugar, 1/4 tsp of vanilla, a pinch of salt and I always liked her instructions "when you think you have worked it enough then work it some more". They are made like refrigerator cookies cut 1/4" thick and then pricked with a fork. A lot of the recipe covers all those details that make a huge difference which includes ageing them. I added one of my own about cooking then longer to get more colour on the bottom which gives them a bit of a caramel taste as I always got the slightly over cooked ones and I prefer them.

Thank you very much! Best, Rik

I go 1, 2, 3 - 1 portion of sugar, 2 portions of butter, 3 portions of flour. Easy. Been making these for over 10 years now.

I know this is a video from a while ago, but I just had to leave a comment. I just made this recipe, and WOW is it amazing!!! So delicious, almost fluffy in consistency, and so light and crumbly. Fantastic! I followed your instructions exactly, in particular the ration of flour, sugar, butter, and salt. Much better than Walker's if youy ask me!

[@BackyardChef]

Wonderful! It is better I think. I can't say that though. Thank you. Best, Rik

I have a new cookie recipe for Christmas. Thank you! They looked delish!!

[@coolwater55]

Most cookies do not have milk. Butter, flour, eggs..yes, but not milk. I'm curious which cookie recipe has milk? In the case of biscuits like these 3 ingredients.i use salted butter. It's the kneading that binds the flour and swells the flour. Icing is for taste.
