Islabelle Milne's Scottish Shortbread
Make one batch at a time.
1 cup butter (soft, not melted)
2 cups flour
7 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons rice flour
Mix together with your hands until the consistency is like playdough. Do not overhandle
batter. Pat into half of a 13 x 9 inch pan. Now make second batch the same way and fill the rest of the pan.
prick all over with a fork and mark around the edges like a pie. Sprinkle lightly with sugar.
Bake in a 300 degree
oven for about 45 minutes or until golden in color. Cut into 50 to 60 pieces while hot, then cool in pan before removing.
ENJOY!
This is the style that my mother learned from her mother in Arboath, Angus, Scotland. She
taught her daughter in law, my wife Kay Milne how to make it in the old Scottish style.
