Scottish organic shortbread

The best example of a "less is more": it only takes wheat flour, butter, sugar and salt to give this Scottish pastry classic its crispy, crumbly texture, rich buttery flavor and harmonious interplay of subtle sweetness and a hint of salt.

The Inner Hebrides is an archipelago off the west coast of mainland Scotland. On one of the 79 islands, the Isle of Mull, you find an amazing bakery. The “Island Bakery” uses the best ingredients to make tasty biscuits that are second to none. Dawn and Joe Reade, the family business owners, started baking bread in the mid-1990s. In 2001 they found an ideal way to diversify: with incomparably good cookies, which they (fortunately) market abroad. A characteristic island mentality often comprises a heightened awareness of the finite nature of resources, so it’s hardly surprising that the “Island Bakery” runs on electricity from wind energy and hydroelectric power from the Tobermory River, and the Reades heat the oven with local wood.
