Ayrshire Shortbread

This recipe comes from a handwritten book that was sent to me from a family who wanted me to have their great-grandmother’s recipes. Her name was Jessie Henderson and she was a student of the E. C. Training College in Edinburgh. This recipe is from her class notes dated 3 June 1893. The collection is incredible – it was written in impeccable handwriting, and we are still teaching lots of these recipes today. It is my honour to share some of her recipes with you.
