Often given away at Christmas, shortbread is definitely a seasonal favourite. However the Scottish delicacy, made popular in the mid 16th century by Mary Queen of Scots, is also traditionally eaten at New Year as well. This goes back to Pagan times when ‘Yule cakes’ were eaten which symbolised the sun. Another Scottish celebratory date in the calendar, Burns Night, also takes place later in the month so what better reason to try your hand at making this delicious biscuit. Nigel Cooke, Head Chef at Laura Ashley The Tea Room Solihull, has shared his festive shortbread recipe which makes 30 – 35 biscuits, ideal to share with friends and family.
