  Shortbread - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shortbread is generally associated with Scotland although it is made in Denmark and in other countries.
Shortbread is typically formed into one of three shapes: one large circle, which is divided into segments as soon as it is taken out of the oven ("Petticoat Tails"); individual round biscuits ("Shortbread Rounds"); or a thick (¾" or 2 cm) rectangular slab which is cut into fingers (simply "Fingers").
Shortbread biscuits are not to be confused with either sweetbreads, which are cooked mammal thymus glands or pancreas, or with shortcake, which is similar to Shortbread but made using vegetable fat instead of butter, giving it a different texture.
