Part 2/8:
When preparing Irish shortbread, the key ingredient is, of course, butter. For this, it’s recommended to use high-quality butter, ideally one that is softened at room temperature. For many, Kerrygold is the favored choice due to its rich flavor profile, a result of Ireland’s lush green pastures that nourish happy cows. The use of salted butter is particularly emphasized as it adds an extra layer of flavor, making the shortbread even more enticing.
