These biscuit have the longest packet name of any I have tasted so far for this blog. I think, at present, my baseline for judging shortbread fingers are those produced by Walker's, I tend to get them in packets of two at work. These do not reach the level of those. However, they are better than a number of the biscuits I have recently bought from Tesco. They are sprinkled with sugar which used to be traditional with shortbread, but it is not ridiculously the case. They have a decent crumble which is good for shortbread. Some tourist brands go far too far and they are breaking up before you can even get them to your mouth and these certainly do not do that and they also do not snap which would be wrong for shortbread. They have a hint of the butteriness that is promised, but it does not go far enough. It is this final element which lets them down. These are reasonable biscuits for having with coffee or tea and with a little work could be really decent shortbread biscuits. I would cut down the sugar and raise the creaminess of the taste in order to get there.
