Description

Good shortbread needs very little: fine flour, real butter, sugar and patience.

Our traditional Scottish shortbread keeps to that simple recipe. Butter gives it the rich flavour and short, crumbly texture that are the hallmarks of the real thing.

Each batch is baked slowly until just pale gold, never browned, so the butter flavour stays clean and the texture melts on the tongue. The rounds are sturdy enough to dunk, yet delicate enough to savour on their own.

Keep a drum in the cupboard for unexpected visitors, or for when you need a little something with your morning tea.

The illustrated drum, showing Eilean Donan Castle in the Scottish Highlands, also makes a thoughtful gift for friends at home and abroad.

Why you'll love our all butter Scottish shortbread

Simple ingredients, baked with care, in a tin worth keeping.

Brodies Scottish shortbread gift tin featuring an illustration of Eilean Donan Castle

Only real butter

No vegetable oils or margarine, just real butter. It gives our shortbread its rich, rounded flavour and its signature short, crumbly bite.

Hand-baked in small batches

Baking in small batches means every tray gets the attention it deserves, coming out of the oven perfectly golden, evenly baked and never overdone.

Five simple ingredients

Flour, butter, sugar, maize starch and a pinch of salt. No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

A keepsake gift tin

The illustrated tin keeps the rounds fresh and makes a lovely gift. The elegant drum can be reused long after the shortbread has been enjoyed.

Our story

A Scottish tradition, made the proper way

Shortbread has been part of Scottish tradition for centuries. Once a luxury kept for special occasions such as Christmas and Hogmanay, it is now a year-round favourite and one of Scotland's best-loved bakes.

The recipe
Traditional recipes are famously simple: roughly one part sugar, two parts butter and three parts flour.
The shape
Shortbread is traditionally baked in three shapes: fingers, petticoat tails (a large round cut into wedges) and individual rounds. We chose rounds because they bake evenly, hold together well in the drum and are just the right size to enjoy with a cup of tea.
Our heritage
At Brodies, we have been part of Scotland's food and drink heritage since 1867, starting as tea merchants.

Shortbread and a good cup of tea have always belonged together, so it made sense to offer a shortbread worthy of our blends. Try it with our Breakfast Tea for a classic pairing, or browse our full range of cakes and biscuits.

Reviews

What our customers say

Shortbread FAQs

Clear, simple answers to help you choose with confidence.

What makes this shortbread "all butter"?

The only fat in the recipe is real butter, which makes up 31% of the shortbread. There are no vegetable oils or margarine. This gives our all butter shortbread its richer flavour and crumbly, melt-in-the-mouth texture.

Why is it called shortbread?

In baking, "short" describes a crumbly texture created by a high proportion of fat. The generous amount of butter in shortbread stops long gluten strands forming in the dough, which is what makes it crumbly rather than chewy.

How much shortbread is in a drum?

Each drum contains 200g of all butter shortbread rounds.

Does this shortbread contain any allergens?

Yes. It contains wheat (gluten) and milk. Please check the full ingredients list above, and the pack, before eating if you have an allergy or intolerance.

Is Brodies Shortbread suitable for vegetarians or vegans?

It is not suitable for vegans, as it contains butter. It is suitable for vegetarians.

How should I store shortbread once the tin is open?

Store the tin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This stops the shortbread absorbing moisture and keeps it crisp. Avoid the fridge, which can soften the texture. Once opened, store in an airtight container.

Does Brodies Shortbread make a good gift?

Yes. The illustrated Eilean Donan Castle tin makes it a popular gift, particularly for visitors to Scotland and friends overseas. Pair it with one of our tea gift tins for a complete Scottish gift.

What tea goes best with shortbread?

A strong, malty black tea balances shortbread's buttery sweetness perfectly. Our Breakfast Tea is a natural partner. For something lighter in the afternoon, try a fragrant Earl Grey.
