Scotch Finger

What is it?

Buttery shortbread fingers made with wheat flour, sugar, butter, vegetable oil and milk solids, then baked into pale, ridged biscuits that snap cleanly and crumble at the edges. Each piece is shaped for dunking and usually comes in a plain packet or multi-pack format, depending on the size on shelf. Compared with Arnott’s richer cream biscuits or its chocolate-coated lines, this one sits at the plain end of the range. The texture is firm at first bite, then sandy and crumbly, with a simple butter-and-sugar flavour that’s been part of the Arnott’s lineup since the early 1900s.
