Butter Shortbread – 200g
In Nigeria, the 200g butter shortbread is a premium biscuit staple, with McVitie’s and Walkers being the most recognizable brands. These are prized for their high butter content, providing a “melt-in-the-mouth” texture that pairs perfectly with tea or coffee.
🌟 Top 200g Shortbread Options
McVitie’s All Butter Shortbread (200g): The most widely available premium shortbread. It is baked in Scotland and known for its simple 5-ingredient recipe (butter, flour, sugar, salt, and starch).
Walkers Pure Butter Highlanders (200g): A luxury tier option often found in high-end supermarkets. These are hand-rolled in Demerara sugar for a distinctively crunchy edge and rugged texture.
**London Biscuits All Butter Shortbread (210g): A common alternative often sold in fingers or rounds, offering a similar buttery profile at a slightly different price point.
Buyer’s Guide
Texture Check: Authentic butter shortbread should be crumbly and pale gold. If the biscuit is very hard or dark brown, it may contain more vegetable fats than pure butter.
Storage: Because of the high fat content, shortbread can absorb kitchen odors. Once opened, always transfer them to an airtight tin to maintain that fresh, buttery smell.
- Vegetarian Friendly: Most major 200g brands (like McVitie’s) are certified vegetarian and contain no artificial colors or preservatives
