Highlander Shortbread Biscuits are a wonderfully crunchy biscuit. Akin to shortbread they have that same texture but with some demerara sugar around the edge.

Easy Chocolate Shortbread
Quick and easy this recipe for chocolate shortbread works very well indeed. I do love shortbread and enjoy most baked things that include chocolate. So I decided to make some chocolate shortbread, just as an experiment, based on a shortbread recipe I used recently. All I did was to substitute some of the flour and […]
Clementine Shortbread for Christmas
Christmas deserves something extra special. So a shortbread biscuit flavoured with clementines, so readily associated with that time of year, are just perfect. They taste great and have that special shortbread crunch. Although I made shortbread just a few weeks ago I decided that a slight variation, adding the zest from some clementines, would make […]
Orange Posset & Orange Shortbread
Posset is a firm favourite of mine. This traditional dessert is made with cream and sugar and is flavoured with fruit juice, but it has to be a juice containing citric acid that will thicken the cream when added to for a thickset dessert. Posset is very rich and is therefore best served in small […]
Nantes Cakes – Cookies
I recently acquired a very good book about the food that Claude Monet, the artist, used to like to eat. It included a lot of recipes of that food and also included lots of information and also photos of some of his paintings. Coincidentally shortly after I bought the book one of my subscribers on […]
Millionaire’s Pecan Squares – Bars
I recently made some lovely pecan squares that tasted so good. So I wanted to try a little improvement, with the addition of some chocolate. Hence these Millionaire’s Pecan Squares, or Bars. Because I was adding the richness of the chocolate to the recipe I decided to increase the thickness of the shortbread layer too, […]
Pecan Shortbread Squares – Bars
I wanted to make some shortbread squares and saw several recipes for some with Pecans. But the ones I saw all had a layer of caramel or some other filling between the shortbread and the pecans. So I decided to try just to coat the pecans in enough of a stick caramel-like sauce that they […]
Perfect Shortbread Biscuits/Cookies
I have a hankering for a biscuit from years ago, Royal Scot. They were made by McVities but I think production ceased in the 1970s. They were a delicious shortbread type biscuit, rich in colour and flavour and with a great texture. Since I have been unable to find any recipe that purports to be […]
Millionaire’s Shortbread
This recipe is strictly for those with a sweet tooth, or two. Any shortbread is nice but add a thick layer of caramel and then another, of chocolate, and you have a rich, sweet variant. It is the sort of thing that you don’t want a large portion of, or you will feel decidedly sick […]
Lemon Squares – Lemon Bars
I felt like a big lemon hit today so I set about making some Lemon Squares, or Lemon Bars as they are known it some places. These have a delicious shortbread base and a wonderful lemon topping. The recipe is quite simple and just requires a little patience, as some waiting is involved. The first […]
