Irish Shortbread
Shortbread originally hails from Ireland’s neighbour, Scotland, and is a popular treat across the country, the UK, and the rest of the world. The secret ingredient making Irish shortbread so tasty is Irish butter, which is exquisite and gives the shortbread a rich buttery flavor that pairs perfectly with the crispy texture.
