  • About

These were first made by high-class Edinburgh bakers and take their name from the shape of the petticoat hoops worn by women in the nineteenth century. It’s thought that they were first made as a delicate shortbread, suitable for ladies’ afternoon teas, while men preferred a thicker, crunchier version.
