Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 8x8 or 9x9 inch square baking pan. You can also use a round cake can and cut the shortbread into triangles.
- Place the caster sugar, flour, salt and butter in a food processor and pulse until it's combined and looks like coarse breadcrumbs but is soft and pliable and comes together in a dough when you press it together between your fingers. If it's too dry and crumbly it needs to be pulsed a bit longer. (If using any add-ins, stir them in at this point.)Pour the mixture into the greased baking pan. Use your fingers and hands to firmly press down the mixture. Note: If the mixture is too dry to work with, including pricking with a fork (see below), then it was not pulsed long enough in the food processor. Optional: Prick the shortbread with the tines of a fork, creating rows. Some people also like run a knife between each row of fork tines to make cutting the shortbread easier after it's baked. You can also prick the shortbread with a fork immediately after it is done baking while it is still warm; the holes will be more pronounced this way as they have a tendency to close during baking.
- Place the shortbread on the middle rack and bake for 30-35 minutes or until light golden and firm. Let cool. Cut and serve.Store the shortbread in an airtight container for up to several weeks. Its flavor and texture improves over time.

SCOTCH SHORTBREAD
My best friend in high school's mom made this for me when I had my first overnight stay in a hospital. I loved it so much that I made it whenever I got the chance. When we lived overseas, my mom had to limit the number of times I could make it because butter was so expensive. Now it's part of my Christmas baking. Very rich and good!

Scottish settlers first came to this area over 150 years ago. My mother herself was Scottish, and-as with most of my favorite recipes-she passed this shortbread recipe on to me. I make a triple batch of it each year at Christmas, to enjoy and as gifts. -Rose Mabee, Selkirk, Manitoba

Steps:

- Food Processor Method.
- Cut the butter into 1-inch cubes, wrap it, and refrigerate.
- Process the sugars for 1 minute or so, until the sugar is very fine.
- Add the butter and pulse until the sugar disappears.
- Add the flour and pulse until there are a lot of moist, crumbly little pieces and no dry flour particles remain.
- Dump the mixture into a plastic bag and press it together.
- Remove the dough from the plastic bag and knead it lightly until it holds together.
- Electric Mixer or by Hand.
- Use superfine granulated sugar for the best texture and be sure to soften the butter.

- If using the mixer, add the flour in 2 parts.
- For Both Methods.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal parts.
- Pat each half into an ungreased 8-inch round cake pan.
- Use the tines of a fork to press 3/4-inch lines radiating like rays of sun all around the perimeter of the dough.
- Prick the rest of the dough all over with the tines of the fork.
- (this keeps the shortbread even and creates the traditional design).
- Bake for 60-70 minutes or until pale golden (do not brown).
- For even baking, rotate the pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway through the baking period.
- Cool in the pans, on a wire rack, for 10 minutes.

SCOTTISH SHORTBREAD
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place butter in mixer and beat with paddle until soft and light. Beat in sugar in a stream and continue beating 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture is very light and whitened. Stir in the flour by hand until it absorbed, no more or the dough will toughen.
- Scrape the dough onto a floured surface and flour the dough with pinches of flour. Press the dough out with your hands, then roll over once or twice very gently with a rolling pin until the dough is about 1/2-inch thick. Cut the dough with floured cutters and transfer the cut pieces to a paper lined pan.
- Bake the shortbread for about 15 minutes until it is very lightly colored. Cool the shortbread on a rack.
- To use a shortbread mold to shape, press the mold into the floured dough and cut around it. Transfer the cut and molded dough to a paper lined pan and chill about 1 hour until firm. Bake as above.
KITTENCAL'S SCOTCH SHORTBREAD BARS
These shortbread bars is one of my all-time favorite recipes... I find that baking shortbread in a baking pan somehow produces a flakier, richer cookie...I'm sure you will enjoy these as much as we do.
