shortbreads
Crumbly Scottish treats
Shortbreads is the plural of shortbread, a rich, crumbly cookie made with butter, sugar, and flour.
The "short" refers to the crumbly texture created by the high fat content—the same sense as in shortcake or shortening.
Traditional Scottish shortbread is baked in rounds or fingers: She arranged the shortbreads on a plate for tea.
