🍰 Desserts

Three-ingredient Scottish shortbread — sandy, buttery, impossible to improve. Soft-centred and generous, the sort that vanishes warm off the tray. Sandwich two with a scoop of ice cream for an instant dessert upgrade.

Chef's tip

Salt is the missing ingredient in most home desserts — a small pinch makes chocolate and caramel taste more like themselves.
