A Shortbread Recipe for Burns Night

Celebrating the Bard with a spot of seasonal baking.

Today, the 25th January, marks the birthday of Scotland’s national Bard, Rabbie Burns. Scots all over the world raise a dram this evening to the life and work of Scotland’s national poet with a traditional Burns Supper including haggis, neeps and tatties, as well as poetry and piping. We’ll be having our own Supper at the weekend, along with an early celebration of Imbolc - which takes place next week (more on that soon) - but in the meantime I thought I’d share my go-to shortbread recipe, some tips for making it and some favourite flavour combinations. I know it’s been a while since I’ve shared a recipe but this is for a very good reason as my kitchen is currently site of some exciting recipe testing! More soon…
