I love shortbread because its so easy to make. I’ve tried some absolutely terrible recipes though. Too much butter and you can’t handle it, not enough and its not ‘short’. Biscuits are also a good thing to bake right now whilst the strange British weather is warm. The rose water adds a fragrant, exotic flavour. The rose petals add beautiful red-pink flakes to the biscuit and deepen the flavour. Its a departure from the Scottish original, but I’m not Scottish so I don’t care! The rose petals are really Egyptian. We bought them on our trip to Alexandria last december.
