Scottish Brown Sugar Shortbread Recipes
SCOTTISH SHORTBREAD
Scottish settlers first came to this area over 150 years ago. My mother herself was Scottish, and-as with most of my favorite recipes-she passed this shortbread recipe on to me. I make a triple batch of it each year at Christmas, to enjoy and as gifts. -Rose Mabee, Selkirk, Manitoba

BROWN SUGAR SHORTBREAD
I like to sneak a bit of light brown sugar into almost everything I make. I love the flavor of the molasses in brown sugar. White sugar, a peerless product in many ways, doesn't taste like anything but sweet. Using brown sugar, like toasting nuts before adding them to a recipe, adds another level of flavor. You won't think "Oh, this tastes like brown sugar." You'll simply think "Oh, this is the best shortbread I have ever had." Homemade shortbread with ice cream is one of the coziest desserts you could possibly make for a dinner party of friends. Though it used to be commonplace (under the name short'nin' bread), almost no one bakes it at home any more. It's a snap.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 10 by 14 1/2-inch sheet pan (with sides) with parchment or waxed paper.
- In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), cream the butter until soft and smooth. Add the brown sugar and mix until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the flour and cornstarch. Add to the butter mixture and mix at low speed just until the ingredients are incorporated and the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead it 5 to 10 times, just to smooth the dough.
- Reflour your work surface. With a rolling pin, roll the dough out to fit the sheet pan. To transfer to the sheet pan, roll the dough up onto the rolling pin, lift it up, and unroll into the pan. Using light strokes of the rolling pin, roll the dough evenly into the corners and edges of the pan, and roll out any bumps. (Or, press the rolled-out dough thoroughly into the pan with your fingers.) Prick the shortbread all over with a fork to prevent any buckling or shrinking.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, rotate the pan and knock it once against the oven rack, to ensure even cooking and a flat surface. Bake 10 to 15 minutes more, until very lightly browned.
- Immediately sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the surface. Let cool 10 minutes, then cut into 1 1/2 by 3-inch bars. Let cool completely in the pan, then store in an airtight container.

SCOTCH SHORTBREAD
My best friend in high school's mom made this for me when I had my first overnight stay in a hospital. I loved it so much that I made it whenever I got the chance. When we lived overseas, my mom had to limit the number of times I could make it because butter was so expensive. Now it's part of my Christmas baking. Very rich and good!

SCOTTISH BROWN SUGAR SHORTBREAD
A melt-in-your mouth, first prize winning recipe from a Scottish Mother, and published in Taste of Home magazine. This shortbread also won a red ribbon at a fair. Easy to make with only three ingredients; butter, brown sugar and flour. I use a plastic quilt ruler, that I keep just for baking, to measure out the dough strips. Instead of the ruler, you could make a pattern from wax paper or a plastic lid to get all your cookies a nice even size. Makes a wonderful gift for any occasion.

Very light and flavourful shortbread. This is such a simple recipe you will be surprised that it tastes so yummy. The real trick is using brown sugar and real butter. I have made this with and without the vanilla and I enjoy it either way. This recipe is a staple in my recipe library.
