Shetland Shortbread Recipe

...brought to you by Recipes EU





Shetland Shortbread
8 oz Plain (all-purpose) flour
2 oz Self raising flour
3 oz Cornflour (cornstarch)
3 oz Castor (superfine) sugar
8 oz Butter or margarine, or a
- half/half mixture is good


Melt butter. Mix dry ingredients. Add and knead all together. Pat or
roll into baking sheet (to about 1/2" deep). Prick over with fork.
Sprinkle with sugar. Cut into 1" by 2-3" strips when taken from oven.
Bake at 350F/160C/Gas Mark 4 on bottom shelf of oven until a pale
beige colour (15- 25 minutes).

I use castor sugar not granulated and a half butter half margarine
mix to get the best results. I usually make double quantities, since
it keeps well in an air-tight tin.

Note that this does have a lighter feel than shortbreads from other
parts of Scotland.

Dieting tips

If you enjoy your food, but need to become thin and also better your overall vitality, among other things you need to follow a carefully configured well-balanced daily routine. If possible, this must include five standard portions of grains and vegetables per day and also contain a sensible combination of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

In planning a diet, it is important to try to cut back on your intake of refined carbohydrates, salt and fats.

When selecting food, dieters far too often direct your attention to retail store and well known foods referred to as 'low-fat'. This is often an error, seeing that a food product might be reduced in fats, but also much too high in carbs.

Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Your body must have water , it is essential for our wellbeing and is empty of calories. It also has the benefit that it fills the dieters tummy and reduces sensations of hunger. The recommended amount medical experts warn it is best to drink as a minimum 6 cups of water every day.

As an alternative to paying too much attention to the many food types that you should leave out of your meal plan, concentrate on the nutritionally sound foods which you can add to your weight loss program. If you inject a few healthy pulses and vegetables into your dietary regime, you'll discover that stop feeling hungry and have a far decreased risk of being seduced by those unwholesome mid-morning munchies.
