Shortbread Cookie Biscuit Recipe

Friends I'm making this post for you today to give you another option when it comes to making strawberry shortcake. Now our calendar says National Strawberry Shortcake Day is celebrated every July 14th and that's the day everybody eats that cold dessert of strawberries and whipped cream and sweet fluffy biscuits. But today I wanted to remind everyone that shortbread can also be used in creating a strawberry shortcake dessert too. Below🠟 I will be listing a simple shortbread recipe for you. Also remember this recipe for National Shortbread Day which is celebrated every January 6. 

About this recipe

"Shortbread is a type of cookie which is traditionally made from one-part white sugar, two parts butter, and three parts plain white flour, although other ingredients like ground rice or cornstarch are sometimes added to alter the texture. Shortbread is so named because of its crumbly texture (from an old meaning of the word short). The cause of this texture is its high fat content, provided by the butter. The related word "shortening" refers to any fat that may be added to produce a short (crumbly) texture."

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
  

• 1/4 tsp salt
  

• 1 cup (225 g) butter
  

• 1/2 cup (115 g) sugar
  

Procedure

• Cream the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy.
  

• Sift the flour and salt into the mixture and work into the fat and sugar until completely amalgamated.
  

• Shape the dough into a ball and roll out to about ½ inch thick.
  

• Cut into squares or rectangles and prick the tops with a fork in two parallel lines.
  

• Bake at 275ºF/135ºC for 30 to 40 minutes or until the shortbread is lightly browned.
  

• Leave them on a cake rack to cool.
  

• Store in a cool place in an airtight container

My Closing Thoughts~

• Friends if you want the original recipe for strawberry shortcake here's the link. I posted it around July 4th because that's a traditional recipe for the 4th of July and I wanted everyone to have it for those who were hosting a traditional celebration for the 4th.
• Also... I didn't add the crushed nuts in the recipe that you see on the outside of the shortbread. If you want nuts on it, you just add them on top before you put them in the oven to bake.
