1. 1奶油酥餅(蘇格蘭那種;不是中式酥餅,更不要譯成「短麵包」)

    Shortbread is a hard, sweet made with a lot of butter, plus flour and sugar. It is not a , even though bread sits in the name, and it is not a soft cookie. You bite it and it snaps into sandy pieces. That snap is the point: in old kitchen English, short pastry is pastry so full of fat that it breaks easily — short here does not mean “not tall.” It is a Scottish thing at heart, and tins of it still turn up at New Year and Christmas. The taste is almost only butter, so bakers treat it as simple and strict. Shops sell it plain, with sugar on top, or with a little jam. People say a piece of shortbread or a shortbread ; they do not say a bread.

組成short(舊烘焙用法:酥、一折就碎,因為油脂多)+ bread。和「矮」的 short 不是同一條路。
