Taking Cooking food back to basics.
Ingredients
600g A. P Flour
400g unsalted butter
200g caster sugar
A pinch of salt - HOW BIG UP TO YOU - SALT TO TASTE -
NOTE:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Using salt
Cooking with salt is not inherently bad for you, but it becomes a concern when consumed in excess. Salt, or sodium chloride, is essential for bodily functions such as nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and fluid balance. However, excessive salt intake is linked to health issues like high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease.
Many people are cautious about salt intake due to its prevalence in many diets, particularly in processed and restaurant foods. As a result, according to the American Heart Association, most people consume much more than the recommended daily limit of sodium, which is less than 2,300 milligrams per day. Some guidelines even recommend a lower limit of 1,500 milligrams for certain populations.
The recommended daily sodium intake, 2,300 milligrams, is equivalent to 1 teaspoon of table salt.
Unless you eat the whole tray of biscuits in one go, the salt levels DO NOT exceed any recommended intake levels - most sensible people will only consume a couple of biscuits.
Hope this alleviates all the whining minnies and flippant comments about salt - a PINCH of salt to your taste!

When I was about ten or eleven, an old Scottish woman (who by the way used to drink vodka while visiting and called it “holy water”, gave name her cherished recipe for short bread and taught me how to make it. I was in 4-H cooking and she thought I should use her shortbread recipe for my fair entry. I did and it went so far as to win first place at the local fair and first place at the state fair. Now at 69, I still carry on her legacy for shortbread and give her full credit for it when I make it.

My biological calorie counter was hidden in my donated gallbladder, so the lab unexpectedly received a bonus 2 for 1 deal. Now calories are irrelevant to me. YUM!

Rik, just listening to you I get the impression that you are a trained professional, who has cooked over the world, and taught many people to join your profession. Even the way you format your recipes reminds of of how pro chefs used to create their notebooks. Furthermore, I find your recipe descriptions to enjoyable as well. You're not just helping people get their nostalgia kick. You're quietly telling them about what it was like in the very tough Good Old Days. You have the makings of a storyteller about you, and focusing those around a recipe gives us something more than just food. Just my 2 cents.

Brought back happy memories of my Grandma teaching me to make non Scottish shortbread. You use freezing cold rock hard butter out of the fridge, no touching the dough with your fingers because your fingers are warm and it will no longer be rock hard butter out of the fridge, no metal utensils because the metal will conduct heat from your sweaty fingers and compromise the rock hardness of the butter, no electric mixers because they are for weaklings and shortbread knows when it was made too easily and it doesn't turn out good, only wooden spoons can be used to brute force clobber the rock hard butter into the flour using the power of the great depression, biceps, and grit. They are really good

why dont you want to melt the butter, how would the results be different than the video?

@Aaalllyyysssaaaaa 2 ай бұрын

@@hibiscusflower5911 It was a different type of shortbread for sure, and I think the reasoning was that if the butter doesn't fully melt and absorb into the flour, then the flour won't get tough, and the little tiny grains of butter will melt and flow out of the cookie when it's in the oven, and that will leave a super light beautiful structure. Basically it makes it so when you bite into it there's flakey light layers in the cookie and it's super delicate. They really melt in your mouth.

There is a very nice German version of this called 'Heidesand'. The major difference is that in the German version you would melt and brown the butter making beurre noisette as the French call it before making the dough. Otherwise it is pretty much the same but you can add some vanilla essence as well. Traditionally you would shape the dough into a thick sausage, refrigerate overnight and cut it into rounds before baking.

@@BackyardChef They are very, very nice indeed. The browned butter adds a nutty depth to the flavour but they are also scarily expensive if you buy them from a bakery. I might start making some tonight as I am salivating thinking of them. ;) PS: German bakeries are on a different level! If you got some spare time google images of them and be amazed but what would expect from a country that has well over 1200 different types of bread!

My mom and I have Scots-Irish lineage from her side of the family. I don't know about anyone else on her side, but she and I love shortbread cookies. As of this Christmas, it's just her and I doing any kind of celebration, as my father very recently passed. (It's okay, though. You don't have to feel bad for us. He didn't exactly manage money well, and hid way too much from her. I'd go so far as to say he was a covert narcissist, the way he actually treated us both.) So, be that as it may, I want to make this Christmas as lovely for her as I can without spending a lot of money. She'd rather have something from the heart than something lavish, anyway. She's always been like that. I came across this video, and I knew it would be perfect. She's not a big coffee or tea person, but she loves hot cocoa, as do I. This may be my last Christmas with her, just because her health isn't the greatest. But whether it is or not, I love that I found something of our heritage to make. 😁

Wishing you and your loved ones all the best, Rik.

ONG 😮when we were children, this is how Mother let my sisters and me make shortbread on a Saturday after the house was clean. What a lovely memory.❤❤

The amount of comments harping on the amount of salt, holy cow. Use less when you make it yourself. You don’t like margarine? Don’t use it. Simple. The shortbread looked delicious and your instruction easy to follow, thank you.

My mother always had some rice flour for crispiness and the sugar she used is finer than regular sugar (I assume that is what you are calling caster sugar) called berry sugar. Her rule of thumb is when you think you have worked it enough work it some more. It is made like refrigerated cookies, rolled, chilled, cut 1/4", pricked with a fork and baked. I don't make it anymore as it just tastes like more.

@BackyardChef 5 ай бұрын

Do you think she may have used icing sugar - sugar ground into a powder? That is sometimes used in pastry. Best, Rik

@HermannKerr 5 ай бұрын

@@BackyardChef No, it was berry sugar, a finer granulated sugar, (and there was some best brown sugar [no longer available but regular soft brown sugar will do] as well). I do know what icing sugar is. I became the official shortbread maker in the family. My relatives on my father's side of the family said it was better than my Scottish grandmother's shortbread. My mother's recipe comes very close to Walkers texture and mouth feel. My mother got the recipe from a Scottish nurse she was working with in Vancouver a very long time ago, around the time I was born. I give the recipe away to preserve it and it is written with an embedded story by me.

@BarneyBoy365 5 ай бұрын

My Scottish Nanna also used rice flour, half of which was ground rice…gave it a more traditional, grittier mouth feel. So 2/3 regular flour, 1/3 the two rice flours. She always described commercial shortbread made without ground rice as confectionery 😂

@HermannKerr 5 ай бұрын

@@BarneyBoy365 my mothers was 4 cups of AP flour to 1/4 rice flour - the other ingredient were 1 pound unsalted butter, 1 cup of berry (fine granulated but not icing) sugar, 1/4 cup of soft brown sugar, 1/4 tsp of vanilla, a pinch of salt and I always liked her instructions "when you think you have worked it enough then work it some more". They are made like refrigerator cookies cut 1/4" thick and then pricked with a fork. A lot of the recipe covers all those details that make a huge difference which includes ageing them. I added one of my own about cooking then longer to get more colour on the bottom which gives them a bit of a caramel taste as I always got the slightly over cooked ones and I prefer them.

@Chris-ut6eq 2 ай бұрын

Made shortbread today, thanks for the recipe, worked the first time. Really clicked when you mentioned the ratios butter + sugar(butter/2)= flour then add generous pinch of salt. Added some vanilla as well, tasted wonderful. Will make again and try different flavorings. Thinking some ginger next time, or just go with pumpkin spice. Thanks for making the video!

Most cookies do not have milk. Butter, flour, eggs..yes, but not milk. I'm curious which cookie recipe has milk? In the case of biscuits like these 3 ingredients.i use salted butter. It's the kneading that binds the flour and swells the flour. Icing is for taste.
