Hello folks!
So today I whipped up some shortbread…this time I done petticoat tails :) So named because of the shape…it’s thought to resemble petticoat tails! But it’s basically triangle shortbread…and it’s beautiful with a cup of tea or coffee.
Everything I used will be listed below,
-Cheryl x

• 250g (9oz) Plain or all purpose flour
• 80g (3oz) Caster sugar - Use standard granulated sugar if you don’t have Caster sugar

    Mom and I would have shortbread with a cup of her favorite tea, Earl Gray. Pure comfort.

    A tip my blue ribbon-winning hubby uses is: start incorporating the butter using a pastry cutter to shorten the time the hands are in contact with the butter, thereby keeping the butter as cold as possible. He just finishes the incorporation by hand as the hand is the best tool to know when the dough is ready. Hot hands are the enemy of shortbread!

    The nicest piece of shortbread petticoat tail that I have ever had was from a small gift shop near Loch Lomond when I was on a coach tour. The shopkeeper had a small metal frame that had a metal plate with a small tea-light candle lit beneath it and he placed the pieces of shortbread on top of the plate and as potential customers entered his store, he invited everyone to take a piece for free. I don’t know if it was because it was warmed up or because it was free but everyone on the coach bought a box of petticoat tails from his shop before they returned to their seats on the coach. So I would recommend that everyone should try your shortbread but they should lightly warm it before eating.

    I love the feel of rubbing butter into flour. It reminds me of my granny making American biscuits.

    This is probably the most delightful thing I've listened to all week. I could listen to you all day! I live in Arizona, but I love shortbread! Maybe I'll make some today! Thanks for sharing!

    I just got done making two batches of shortbread. I made a whole wheat brown sugar pecan cinnamon bear tea shortbread, and an Earl Grey flavored shortbread.❤️🖤❤️

    That shortbread looks so delicious and your voice is just wonderful.

    I'm a big fan of 'not so usual' cheesecake bases. Aside from this looking like it'd be delicious, it'd make a great base.

    Thank you can't wait to try this. Shortbread cookies has always been one of my favorites but I have never tried to make it. Who knew it would be so easy😉. And as silly as it sounds, I could listen to you talk all day long, what a beautiful and comforting cadence.

    Made this last night! So easy, so tender, so yum! And no egg$ needed - haha. Will make this again tomorrow for friends who will have had a hard day and appreciate shortbread. Thank you for your video! I like how you mentioned in the video that it SEEMS like it will never come together because it is too dry! I was thinking exactly the same thing, but it eventually did - be patient. 😊 This was delicious!

    My Grandad used to make this all the time, sadly we lost him in the early 90’s. We all still miss his shortbreads. My grandparents were from Scotland before the came to Australia as 10 pound poms 😊

    Used to watch my Nan who was from Arbroath making this and the best was getting to eat it when it was done. 👍🎅🏻

    My family always used rice flour in their shortbread - half and half with plain flour. I grew up believing that was the traditional Scottish way. However, yours looks delicious. And now that I think about it, a few hundred years ago, rice wouldn't have been common in Scotland.

    I cook mine in a cast iron frying pan. Quick, and I like them browned a little bit.
