Fun Fact: Sugar was added to the shortbread recipe in the 1600s! #TheMoreYouKnow #NationalShortbreadDay #ShortbreadDay #NationalShortbreadDay2023 #ShortbreadDay2023 #NationalDailyPics (at Florence, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnGUGaDjY-C/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy National Shortbread Day! Shortbread is different from shortcake, though they are similar. The difference is that shortcake can be made using vegetable fat instead of butter and usually has a chemical leavening agent such as baking powder, which gives it a different texture.   Beside the three primary ingredients, many #Shortbread recipes call for salt, which helps to enhance the taste.   Shortbread history goes back to at least the 12th century and originally started as biscuit bread.   Traditional shortbread comes in either rounds, fingers or “petticoat tails” – delicate triangles cut from a larger circle, made to resemble the petticoats which medieval ladies, like Mary Queen of Scots would have worn.   The large amount of butter is what makes shortbread short. The term short, when applied to biscuits and pastry, means crumbly. #NationalShortbreadDay #FoodSales #WeKnowFood #FoodConsultant #FoodDude #FoodService #Food #FoodServiceSolutions #FoodOfTheDay #NobertSales @NobertSales (at Germantown, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnEqOxMANKt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy National Shortbread Day! * Shortbread history goes back to at least the 12th century and originally started as biscuit bread. * Shortbread originated in Scotland, with the first printed recipe, in 1736, from a Scotswoman named Mrs McLintock. * Shortbread was defended by early Scottish bakers who fought to prevent shortbread from being classified as a biscuit to avoid paying a government tax on biscuits. * Traditional shortbread comes in either rounds, fingers or “petticoat tails” – delicate triangles cut from a larger circle, made to resemble the petticoats which medieval ladies, like Mary Queen of Scots would have worn. * Shortbread is different from shortcake, though they are similar.

#Repost @todayisanational_day • • • • • “National Shortbread Day on January 6th recognizes a classic Scottish treat enjoyed around the world. Shortbread is a traditional Scottish dessert typically made with: •1 part white sugar •2 parts butter •3 parts flour Modern recipes deviate from the 3 ingredient rule by splitting the sugar portion into equal parts of granulated sugar and powdered sugar and adding salt. Plain white (wheat) flour is commonly used. However, some bakers use ground rice or cornflour to alter the texture. Shortbread earns its name because of its crumbly texture. Its high-fat content provided by the butter results in a shortbread crumb. “Shortening” refers to any fat that may be added to produce a “short” (crumbly) texture. Prepared often during the 12th century, Mary, Queen of Scots receives credit for the innovation of the shortbread during the 16th century. As it was expensive to make, the sweet cookie was reserved as a luxury for special occasions. In Shetland (northeast of mainland Britain), they traditionally break a decorated shortbread cake over the head of a new bride upon the entrance of her new home.” #NationalShortbreadDay (at Florence, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJuuL0GnVMI/?igshid=185lyj9mxs7zj
