Schottisches Shortbread

Shortbread (engl. Mürbes Brot) ist ein schottisches Mürbeteiggebäck bestehend aus Butter, Zucker, Mehl und Reismehl oder Stärke.

Shortbread wird üblicherweise in drei verschiedenen Formen gebacken: Zum einen dünne Scheiben von ca. 15–20 cm Durchmesser, aus denen vorgestanzte Kreissegmente, so genannte „Petticoat Tails“, gebrochen werden. Zum anderen knapp 1 cm dicke „Shortbread Rounds“ von rund 5 cm Durchmesser. Die verbreitetste Form sind die quaderförmigen, fingerlangen „Shortbread Fingers“.

Im Vereinigten Königreich, besonders in Schottland, gehört Shortbread zu den beliebtesten Gebäckarten, die besonders gerne zur klassischen „Tea Time“ gereicht werden.
