Advantages: perfect biscuit

Disadvantages: none

I settled down to a nice cup of tea after work tonight and with it I had a biscuit, not just any biscuit but a Walkers shortbread round. Although we have just got back from Scotland where these biscuits originate from, my biscuits were not bought there but left over from Christmas. Wait rose sell these for about £1.50 for the 150g pack.
These biscuits are quite a thick round biscuit so not so many in a packet about 9 or 10..
These biscuits as with all Walkers products are wrapped in a red tartan package looking very distinctive and Scottish.

I look at this round biscuit it is an attractive light golden color. The outer of the circle of biscuit is crimped /pleated marks made around it. Then the centre of the circle has little holes pricked into it, this shortbread biscuit looks like a miniature Shortbread petticoat tail (the large circle of shortbread that is cut into wedges to be served).
It is a very substantial looking biscuit.
There are 533kcal and 31.1g fat per 100g so I had better not eat too many.

Taking a bite from this biscuit it is just right, the texture not too crumbly. The taste is lightly sweet and very wholesome, buttery, it is satisfying and filling. It is not very easy to dunk these biscuits they often crumble into the tea. So I munch my firm biscuit without dipping it into my tea.
In my time I have eaten many shortbread biscuits few live up to Walkers in taste and appearance. I really enjoyed my biscuit.

Walker's shortbreads are made with out artificial colourings, flavorings or preservatives they are suitable for vegetarians and certified Kosher OU-D. Since these biscuits are made with butter they are obviously not suited to a dairy free diet.

Walkers are a Scottish company first started by Joseph Walker in 1898. Walkers Shortbreads can be bought in many countries, they make a good traditional gift. They make shortbread in many shapes and you can now buy shortbreads with chocolate chips in. Walkers also make oatcakes and other cakes too.
