Question: Shortbread and shortcake?


Answers: Shortbread and shortcake?

Shortcake is a sweet biscuit. It's typically crumbly and made with flour, sugar, butter or some other fat, milk or cream and baking soda or baking powder. Strawberry shortcake (fresh strawberries and whipped cream thrown on top of one of these biscuits) is a favorite summer dessert for Americans.

Shortbread (my gourmet food product), is a traditional Scottish cookie made from butter, sugar, and flour. Our version at Vermont Shortbread Company contains a lot of butter, giving it a slightly chewy texture. We fill our shortbread with jam fillings (raspberry or strawberry), chocolate, lemon curd, walnut cinnamon, almond, or leave it plain with no filling (traditional shortbread). I've seen shortbread in many forms - a large round "cake" (we call it a gift box at VSC) baked in a mold that gives it a pretty design with scored triangular wedges called petticoat tails, small round cookies, or "fingers" (long rectangular pieces). At Vermont Shortbread Company, we make a shortie which is a 4" round shortbread baked in a tart pan.
