No one better than Martha Stewart. Ever !!

Scottish Short Bread~💖💖💖

I have that mould... it's so pretty. I'm a Brit, so I make shortbread a few times a month. I would suggest sprinkling some demerera over the biscuit while still warm, it melts into it... yum!

Starting a new job I was introduced to this mature wrinkly faced lady upon which she said.I know your mum and dad. Never seen this lady before ever I was worried. Turns out she did, big time. Mary came from the island of Barra. Mary taught her way of making traditional short bread. In our place of work we had a good working team. Only issue ever was the short bread and who made the best. Mary was number one. I was taught by the best. Recipes differ from area to place but one consistent method is to make sure your sugar is fully melted in to the butter before you go any further.

1 1/2 C. flour, 3/4 C. Powdered sugar, 2sticks (1cup) butter. Brush the mold with butter and dust with super-fine sugar before filling. 325 for 40 minutes

How long do you leave it in the hot mold before flipping it over so as not to break or crumble?

Yummy ❤ Goodnight Mom 😂🎉

dry in a turned off oven - wow solid advice!!

Beautiful 🥰

I am Scots and I have never in all my years seen anyone just put the unformed granules in the mold like that. You make a dough (use cold hands, don't overhandle, only until its smooth) and then press into the mold and pierce the back with a fork (so steam doesn't make it wet). I preheat my mold a bit so I get a good impression. and I don't cook it for 1 hour do 30 mins and check on it, you don't want too much brown on it. Also shortbread petticoat tails are not traditionally cut, you should rest it 10 mins demold then score it about a third of the way through, dredge fine sugar over the top (while its warm so the sugar will stick better) and then leave it to cool outside of the oven on a cooling rack so it doesn't stay wet. Then it is broken or snapped when ready to serve or eat. That way you get the crumbly edge. If you cut it you seal the edges and lose the crumb and that is not as nice. You can also mold it in a wood mold or any mold to get the impression and just cook it moldless. Brown bag molds makes the ceramic shortbread mold and you can buy the thistle one quite easily for those looking. Wooden ones and silicone can be had from various places 9just to mold not to cook). also rice flour, semolina flour, corn flour can all be used interchangeably to make the shortbread more crumbly. Or you can just use the traditional plain flour, butter and sugar.

I'm guessing to let it cool completely first before you flip it. (That which she does not say) Flipping while still hot in that mold will cause it to crumble.....or so it seems to me.

Get the recipe here: www.marthastewart.com/1526962/marthas-scottish-shortbread For this recipe, you will need a shortbread mold like Emerson Creek Pottery's Thistle Shortbread Pan that Martha used ($34.00, emersoncreekpottery.com) (emersoncreekpottery.com/product/thistle-shortbread-pan/).

Interesting. There is a much higher percentage of sugar to flour ratio than in most Scottish shortbread recipes. I wonder how that affects the final product aside from being much sweeter

Looks great, but the linked recipe doesn’t list rice flour as an ingredient. Is there a different one to use? Also, please consider posting the measurements in weights, too. I bake with a food scale and it’s much easier than guessing if my 1 cup measure is the same as yours, or my flour is as wet/dry as yours. Thank you!

Great flavour but mine came out rock hard when I followed instructions exactly and baked in mold. Looks beautiful too btw, but need to soak each piece in tea, coffee, milk etc. to be able to break pieces off. I did second round but did not dry it in the cooling oven, same result. Too bad as it has such promise but I'd probably try baking maybe 40 minutes at 300 and see if that works. Gorgeous flavour though.

Hello Martha where can I buy that beautiful 😍 plate ?

I bake my shortbread much blonder and use 1/4 cup sugar.

Yummy Mom...l mean Martha! 💝

bonjour Madame Stewart, do you have measurement in grammes ?

💐💐💐💐💐💐

The ceramic mold is very pricey, over $50 with the shipping. Amazon's metal, nonstick shortbread mold is $27....more in line with my budget. Is there a reason why metal cannot be used? Does the baking time / temp need to be changed? I would still grease / flour the pan. TIA

I substituted a metal shortbread pan and the shortbread burned on the bottom. I fed it to the squirrels! I read several other shortbread recipes and decided to shorten the cooking time to 30 minutes and that worked great. Not sure it it was the pan but I suspect it was. Great shortbread!!

Metal pans work fine. But yeah, shorten the bake time.

There are so many comments...did anyone actually make this? Cause the video and the linked recipe are so so so very different. Also, can anyone tell me how to make the shortbread even in the mold? I did all she said and feel mine is still slightly uneven.

How much rice flour?

This recipe calls for all purpose flour and you'll want to use 1 cup. If you're subbing in rice flour, you would also use 1 cup. Here is a link to the full recipe: www.marthastewart.com/1142426/scottish-shortbread

I went with the metal mold and burned the first batch. I did a second batch in the same mold and reduced the cooking time to 30-35 minutes and they were perfect.

I was not so lucky with this recipe. The time it was in the oven absolutely ruined the shortbread and it was rock hard. Seems that Miss Stewart mixed up the recipe with a meringue recipe.

Absolutely!

Special "sandy" texture from the rice flour is not everybody's cup of tea..... all purpose flower, butter and powdered sugar is the way to go. Martha your dough is too crumbly IMO.

I followed this recipe to the letter and is was heavy and dense, overcooked and hard. Worse the next day. I could not recommend it without making several changes. 1 hour cooking time total. It doesn’t need an hour to ‘dry’ after cutting. Too much flour. There is no way she cooked this for 1 hr. 15 mins.
