A ‘light’ shortbread, made with less fat, they are named – not after the town – but after the distinguished Scots surgeon, Dr John Abernethy (1764-1831) who got his local baker to make them as a ‘health’ biscuit to give to his patients.
Put the flour, baking powder, fat and sugar into a bowl. Rub in the fat. Add the milk and egg to make a soft but pliable dough. Divide into 8 piece
