Product Information

Not only do they deliver on the taste, but it's a good shout for those of us who are a little more money conscious. These shortbread bears are super buttery, light, not too sweet, and so, so cute! They are very beginner friendly, since no special equipment is needed. All you really need to make the dough is a mixing bowl, fork/hand whisk, and rubber spatula. And after baking, melted chocolate is used to decorate the faces, so you don’t have to make any icing. That's why we set our reporter Rachel Williams to put four shortbread biscuits to a blind taste test to officially crown which was the ultimate shortbread biscuit. Poundstretcher is one of the country’s leading variety discount retailer for quality food, toiletries, garden essentials and homeware brands.

Now, if you're reading this and wondering that it can't all be great, then you'd unfortunately be correct.

The only very slight negative I had was that there was not enough sugar to completely make this a solid full marks, but other than that it is a delightful biscuit and I am easily on to a winner. As soon as I took my first bite I was pleasantly surprised to find a buttery and crumbly biscuit that just melted in the mouth.

If - like me- you're looking for shortbread that is rich, crumbly, buttery sweet, then Lidl is definitely the supermarket to go to with their stellar Deluxe All Butter Scottish Shortbread Fingers.

This part is totally optional, but if you’d like to make a chocolate version, you can split the finished dough into two bowls. In one bowl, add in 2 tablespoons of sifted cocoa powder, and mix until the color is uniform. If you don’t want to make a chocolate flavored dough, you can just add in brown food coloring. Shaping the bear heads It may be but a simply biscuit, but we certainly have a fond place in our hearts for a good piece of shortbread.

Chilling the dough before baking will help the shortbread keep their shape while cooking. In the oven, the dough will spread as the butter in the mixture melts, but baking it from chilled helps reduce this effect. It’s most important to do this if you are baking the shortbread in individual biscuits. While there are certainly hundreds of variations on supermarket shelves, we firmly believe that the best shortbread should be buttery and flaky with a dusting of sugar on-top.

About

Highland speciality shortbread is made for you in the heart of Scotland using only the finest natural ingredients. It also wasn't as buttery as the other options, but it did have a light dusting of sugar on the top which I only really got with the aftertaste.
