Thistle Ceramic Shortbread Pan

BEST SELLER! This beautiful unglazed ceramic pan is deeply embossed to create eight thistle topped wedges of shortbread. Bake the shortbread in the ceramic pan, let it cool for 10 minutes, then remove your shortbread, cut it into wedges while still warm. Each 9" diameter mold is gift boxed with a recipe booklet inside. Pan measures 9 inches across and 3/4 inches deep. We tried to find shortbread molds made in Scotland, but couldn't - so we found the best and they are made in the USA.

Lucy Ross Natkiel tells her story this way "It all started one day in 1982 during the Chinese New Year. As I walked down one of the little side streets in Boston's Chinatown, I noticed some remarkable cookies in one of the shop windows molded in the shape of Carp, Buddhas and lions that looked like Pekinese dogs. They were amazing. I had never seen anything like them, though I had been happily making and eating cookies ever since I could remember. What seemed new to me was, I learned, a very old art. The Chinese had been using carved wooden molds for centuries to form cookies for special occasions.

Later, I discovered that molded cookies have long been a part of European cookie baking tradition, too. Carved wooden molds have been used for hundreds of years in Austria, Germany and the Scandinavian countries to produce wonderful, intricate cookies. German Springerle with their delicate anise flavor are perhaps the most familiar to us. That day started me on an adventure that still surprises me with ever expanding possibilities, even after 20 years. I suppose I really shouldn't be surprised, though, since one thing always does lead to another. And after all, cookies should look as good as they taste."

Of course, shortbread is one fabulous cookie and the same tradition of using wooden molds to add a thistle design goes back centuries. So after making cookie molds, Lucy designed shortbread pans. Made in a pottery in rural Virginia, all Brown Bag shortbread pans build on her inspiration that day in Chinatown. Make beautiful shortbread with Brown Bag Designs!

This Thistle shortbread pan comes with easy shortbread recipes, which turn out wonderfully well in the ceramic baking dish. The pie shaped shortbread cookies are gorgeous, with their thistle design on the top. It is rare that a recipe I try turns out well on first attempt. This batch was so beautiful that I had to send pictures of it to everyone in my family! The shortbread from my Thistle pan is going to be my go-to hostess gift! Fabulous!

I bought this as a birthday present for a friend, to remind her of a trip we took to Scotland. She was very pleased with it and just made her first batch of lemon shortbread, which turned out beautifully.

I took my time searching through the different shortbread pan designs and finally settled on this Thistle Shortbread Pan. It is beautiful! The weight is nice and hefty and the design is very well defined. I've baked shortbread before but only in a flat cookie sheet, so I am looking forward to making it in my new pan now. When not in use, I have it displayed on my kitchen wall (using a heavy-weight hanger, of course!). It is a great design!

I received the Scottish shortbread pan as gift last Christmas! I absolutely love it! The recipe is perfect, the shortbread is tender and melts in your mouth! I recently purchased another pan for a dear friend who loves it too. One hint buy the better butter the fat content makes a difference!

I used this mold to make my first-ever shortbread. The recipe included was really easy. I've never been a fan of shortbread. It always seems kinda dry and tasteless to me. But this was fantastic! Everyone loved it at our Burns Supper.
