Historically, Scottish shortbread only varied from traditional shortbread in that it was originally made with remnants of bread dough, oatmeal and yeast, resulting in a dry, biscuit-like cookie. Over the centuries, the recipe has evolved into the much tastier, buttery treat we know it to be today. I've read a few claims that "traditional" Scottish shortbread is made with farola: "Scottish Shortbread is traditionally made with farola, a free-flowing cream coloured and fine granular powder or flour milled from durum wheat." But the oldest recipes I've researched do not, so this "tradition" may be a later/more contemporary one.
