Solstice Shortbread Recipe
Recipe By King Arthur Baking
In ancient times, scotsmen marked the winter solstice the first day of winter with bonfires, entreating the sun to return over the course of the year's longest night. From this tradition was born first a round cake, notched on the side to represent the sun's rays; and then today's familiar wedge-shaped shortbread. This version of classic shortbread incorporates crystallized ginger, which adds a spicy kick.
