Frequently Asked Questions
What makes shortbread different from other biscuits?
Shortbread stands out due to its high butter content, typically one part sugar to two parts butter and flour, creating a crumbly, melt-in-the-mouth texture without eggs or raising agents. This simple recipe yields a rich, pure flavour that's less sweet than many biscuits.
How should I store shortbread to keep it fresh?
Keep shortbread in an airtight tin or container in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight. It stays fresh for up to four weeks, though the buttery aroma might tempt you to finish it sooner.
Is your shortbread suitable for gifting?
Absolutely – our shortbread comes in beautiful tins and packs, ideal for birthdays, holidays, or thank-yous. Brands like Walker’s offer luxurious presentation boxes that make thoughtful, long-lasting gifts.
Do you have gluten-free or vegan shortbread options?
Yes, we carry gluten-free shortbread made with rice flour and alternatives, plus vegan versions using plant-based butters. Check product details for dietary specifics and allergens.
What's the best way to serve shortbread?
Enjoy it plain with tea or coffee, alongside clotted cream and jam for a Devonshire twist, or as a base for desserts like trifles. For a Scottish touch, pair with whisky!
