They formed a neat, golden circle in the air, spinning faster and faster until they tore a tiny, buttery rift in the fabric of space-time. Through the hole, the Doctor could see a very confused Viking banquet and a futuristic robot disco.

Given the spelling, this is almost certainly a typo or phonetic mishearing of (a type of cookie/butter biscuit) or potentially "Doctor Who: Shortbread" as a fan-made media concept. However, given the context of "short" (length) and phonetic similarity, you may also be referring to "Doctor Who Shortbread" as a recipe, or possibly "Doctor Who Short [Stories/Episodes]."
