    Mocha ShortBread Bars Recipe

    I love coffee and chocolate together. If you are making any cake or shakes using chocolate add a little bit of coffee to it. Coffee has a tendency to wake up the real chocolate hidden in the chocolate and improves the flavour. And if you are making anything combining chocolate and coffee, it is called as MOCHA. In the beginning I was wondering what is mocha, hence I found out this. All Clear let's move on to the BARS.

    About Mocha Shortbread Recipe

    A traditional Scottish biscuit known as a shortbread or shortie is typically made with one part white sugar, two parts butter, and three to four parts whole wheat flour. Shortbread, in contrast to many other biscuits and baked goods, is made without leaveners like baking soda or powder.

    This is a quick instant bites which you can make in no time. This requires some basic ingredients from your pantry and fridge, Plus it is Eggless. So even more special.  After this is baked, you can really identify the flavour of coffee in the bars. I totally loved it. I hope you will do the same and tell me if you try any.

    Ingredients for Eggless Mocha Chocolate Shortbread Bars 

    All Purpose Flour / Maida :

    Maida requires more oil or butter when baking or cooking because it is lighter and rises faster, which is why bakers prefer maida to atta. All-purpose flour can be used for a variety of tasks, including baking, cooking, coating meats and vegetables, and thickening sauces and gravies. To manufacture all-purpose flour, a blend of
    hard wheat (which has more gluten) and soft wheat is crushed together.

    Instant Coffee powder :


    One of the best options for substituting espresso powder in chocolate desserts or spice rubs is instant coffee. Although they are very similar, instant coffee is less concentrated than espresso powder and will therefore give your recipe less richness.

    Butter :

    The flour flakes in the dough will be covered by the butter. The butter will melt once the cookie is in the oven, but the flour will keep its strength, holding the cookie together.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why shortbread is called shortbread?


    Due to the traditional ratio of one part sugar to two parts butter, which gives the dough a high fat content, shortbread is given its name. This produces a short crust pastry-like soft, buttery crumb that melts in your mouth. Shortbread is so irresistible because of this ratio.

    Where is shortbread originally from?

    Scots were the first to make shortbread. Although it was likely influenced by cultural exchange with French pastry chefs during the Auld Alliance between France and Scotland, shortbread was prepared for a large portion of the 12th century. Mary, Queen of Scots is generally credited with improving shortbread in the 16th
    century.

    Why is shortbread so good?

    Shortbread has so few ingredients that you can't get away with cutting corners; good quality butter and sugar are essential, and plenty of them. Rice flour gives it that special sandy texture that sets it apart from the common biscuit, and a pinch of salt helps to balance that rich, delicious sweetness.
