Description

Scottish shortbread is a classic biscuit that is buttery, crumbly, and irresistible. The traditional recipe calls for just three ingredients: butter, sugar, and flour. However, this version of Scottish shortbread is made with rice flour instead of wheat flour. Rice flour is a gluten-free alternative that gives the shortbread a delicate texture and a slightly nutty flavor. This recipe is easy to make and perfect for any occasion.

Prep Time

Preparation time for this Scottish shortbread recipe is only 20 minutes.

Cook Time

Cooking time for this recipe is 35-40 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups rice flour
  • Pinch of salt

Equipment

  • Baking pan (8x8 inches)
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer or stand mixer

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the rice flour and salt to the mixture and mix until the dough comes together.
  4. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  5. Poke the top of the dough with a fork to create small holes.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the top is firm to the touch.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Once cooled, cut the shortbread into squares or wedges.
  9. Store the shortbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature butter and do not overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the shortbread tough instead of crumbly. You can also use a fork to create a decorative pattern on the top of the shortbread before baking.
