奶油酥饼（shortbread）这种饼干是饼干的标准类型之一，属于酥质饼干。

shortbread这是一个缩写字，不可以直译为短面包。Shortening指的是酥油，所以翻译成奶油酥饼。而fingers并非手指，而是指长条形的奶油酥饼。

Shortbread is a type of biscuit (American English: cookie) traditionally made from one part white sugar, two parts butter, and three parts flour (by weight). The use of plain white (wheat) flour is common today, and other ingredients like ground rice or cornflour are sometimes added to alter the texture. Also, modern recipes often deviate from the pure three ingredients by splitting the sugar portion into equal parts granulated sugar and icing sugar (powdered sugar in American English) and many further add a portion of salt.
