Shillzz Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Yeah, trust me, salt in shortbread is a magical combination. Think Yorke and Cole, but in biscuity form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I cant see it mate, salt on shortbread!? It's just wrong! Not on, but in mate. I think most shortbread comes with a touch of salt, though I may be wrong. Granted that sprinkling salt on top could be considered a bit odd!

NeilS Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Surely the salt will be in the butter, unless you use unsalted butter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
