Join me on a day-trip to Gleneagles - a famous Scottish resort just over an hour away from Edinburgh. Then it's back home to my kitchen where I'll share a recipe for the most delicious shortbread.
Shortbread Recipe:
350g / 2 ¾ cups plain flour
125g / 1 cup caster sugar
Pinch of salt
250g / 1 cup + 2tbsp butter
Caster Sugar for dusting
Directions:
Set the oven to 160°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3. Put the flour, sugar and salt into a bowl. Cut the butter into pieces and add to the bowl. Work the mixture until it forms a ball (do not beat the mixture). The mixing may take a while.
Put the dough into a round baking tin and press it down until flat. Smooth with the back of a spoon.
Place the tin in the centre of the oven and bake for about 30-40 mins, or until the mixture is a pale golden colour.
Remove the shortbread from the tins and cut into equal triangles, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool. Dust with caster sugar before serving. (Not suitable for freezing).

Loved the too brief travelog and the shortbread demo. I, at 80, still bake and follow a similar pattern to yours, with two variations: before baking, I prick out the eight wedges with a fork, which makes for easy dividing when cold, and place a half pecan on the base of each wedge. Sometimes, especially if I am giving away the whole wheel, I'll also impress a thistle in the centre with a round cookie press. Love all your posts; keep them coming!🙂

Thank you for showing us Gleneagles. I love looking at beautiful, historic architecture. It is fun to imagine who once lived in such places. I make shortbread for gifts at Christmas time. They sell beautiful stoneware shortbread pans which have raised, decorative, patterns on the bottom of the pan. Once you bake the shortbread, you can flip and turn it over The pan leaves a beautiful pattern on the top of the shortbread. It makes the presentation beautiful when I gift the treat.

My Grandma Fraser used to gift us with the shortbread that she used to make and it was given to us in a tin. I absolutely loved getting the whole package which included her time, effort and Love ❤️ that went into it. I am at an age now, that this wonderful memory has now turned into a Beautiful Scottish Treasure! My Grandparents moved to Canada from Scotland many years ago. They actually did not know each other in Scotland, they met at a dance in Canada. My Grandfather was too shy to ask my Grandma to dance, so he asked his Brother to dance with her in order to break the ice. Your video today, has cracked this wonderful memory open for me and it reminds how for many years now, I’ve always wanted to visit Scotland. Hope Covid restrictions and worries go away soon, so that I can fulfill that longing. I Love ❤️ your videos and that Little Dog of yours is just the Sweetest! God Bless and Thank You so much. ... Truly! Victoria

I knew it would lead me somewhere I might enjoy a respite from the recent experiences. I thank you for the beauty you share with us all.
