Lemon Posset and Stag Shortbread

October 15, 2020

A simply classic British dessert that goes delightfully well with our buttery Stornoway shortbread.

Our traditional shortbread was a Gold Star winner at the Great Taste Awards in 2007. Made to a time-honoured recipe, its full-bodied flavour and buttery silkiness that makes for a delightful, crisp and light shortbread.

This recipe will make 4 of the creamiest, tastiest, easiest desserts that will look very impressive.
