You’ve never had shortbread like this! Chef “Scottish Francis” Legge (who starred on season 5 of “Masterchef”) and his wife Christine are so obsessed with proper shortbread that they launched a ghost kitchen and have been hosting top-secret and exclusive popups in New York City and Jersey City every week to showcase their decadent and delicious shortbread creations. Francis has roots in shortbread’s ancestral homeland of Scotland (as his name might imply), and he’s brought over his Granny Pearl’s treasured shortbread recipes and given them a decidedly NYC twist. Every shortbread is custom made to order.

- Shortbreads ship fresh with coolant, which may thaw during transit. During colder months, select varieties may not include coolant.
- Though Shortbread is safe at room temperature for up to 1 week, it may also be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight/sealed container.
- Shortbreads should be enjoyed at room temperature.
- Should the Shortbread arrive above room temperature, allow it to reform in the refrigerator for an hour or two.
- Do NOT cut cold; serve and slice only at room temperature.
To Serve
- Shortbreads should be sliced at room temperature or very lightly chilled.
- Make sure to bring your frozen shortbread back to room temperature prior to slicing and serving.
- For easy slicing and serving we recommend removing your shortbread entirely from the tin.
- To do so, first take a knife or an offset spatula to score around the edge of the tin to separate the shortbread and filling from the edges of the tin.
- Then expand the corners of the tin and gently pop it out.
- On a flat surface, while using a cutting board, use a sharp knife and slowly slice your shortbread. It can serve 8 regular slices and 16 bite-sized pieces.
- Serve and enjoy!
