I think you may be confusing shortbread with butter, I'm no expert but I'm certain the best shortbread is not all butter, I think it has at least some sort of flour and sugar in it! :smiley:

Not all butter !! The best shortbreads are all butter.....we avoid those with added Palm Oil, Rapeseed oil etc as these have......they are cheaper ingredients.....Deans do make an all butter version which is very nice.....just not this one

We will be buyiing this.....even at double the price per gram https://www.aldi.co.uk/all-butter-shortbread-assortment/p/044768017780800

Guy that makes the shortbread

M&S shortbread is also very nice, probably as good as Deans

I like the M&S triangles. No idea who makes them but there is something special about them. Amazing to think that this might be the only place in the Universe with triangle shortbread... and tea.

No this is NOT the best shortbread you can buy - no no no! Chrystals shortbread takes that title. This is a married couple who make it all themselves and melts in your mouth. Once youve had that you wont touch that other stuff.

Not necessarily. Looking at the boxes I have, they don't say "All Butter" (and they're not). If you check Dean's website , they make all butter and not all butter. I'll eat either. They're both excellent. :smiley:

OP I'm in heaven! <3 Deans!
U angel :smiley:

OMG...love these. Heat

I buy it in my local Dobbies garden centre but was at the BBC Good food show in Glasgow and they were there selling it. Its just mouthwatering stuff. They have a facebook page of the same name

Looks new and local too, correct me if I'm wrong, SW Scotland/Glasgow Not come across it.

Its not new as we have been getting it for years - yeah we are SW Scotland

Ok. So definitely not widely available. I'll have a look the next time I'm in Dobbies.

Walker's also do an excellent shortbread but I might have to try this one.

M&S is all butter !!

It is like Baxters make M&S soups as well as many others but the ingredients used are not the same.....some are more premium & some are much cheaper

Much supermarket own brand flour will be milled in the same place as Hovis, Allinson etc.....but the initial milled grain is not as good as that used in the premium brands

I prefer the butter shortbread

I think I've found Dean. How are you Dean? :wink:

See #26 The main man's name, according to the back of the box, is Bill Dean. You'll find the contact details from their website - #15. I'd happily have Bill Dean's income, but sadly, it's not me.

From tuesday 1kg Patersons at Iceland will be £2.50 its on here

The famous grouse experience sell it on Amazon. Also It is sometimes sold under a different brand name. The owner of Chrystals advised me on FB that the stuff on sale at Hopetoun Farm Shop near Edinburgh is Chrystals shortbread.

I'll see your middle age and raise you by........:smile:

Lol. If, like me, you grew up in a generation where everybody had a family recipe for shortbread that was the best you will ever taste, then you really need to track down some Chrystals as it is that shortbread.

As each winter begins, I put some Paterson's (or equivalent) in my car's glove box as emergency rations. Never once been over-keen to declare an emergency. :smirk:

I have a couple of relatives who have worked for Jacobs biscuits for 40 odd years and its the same there, same product, different packaging and the price can be double.

Went hunting for these but sadly none in my local

Not found them in my local instead purchased aldi speciality all butter shortbread that might be made by Dean's who knows.
