Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups – flour
• 4 ounces – Butter
• 3/4 cup – Sugar

Method:

  1. Leave the butter out of the fridge to soften a little.
  2. Cut it into pieces and rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips. The result should be like fine breadcrumbs.
  3. Then mix the sugar.
  4. Grease the bottom and sides of a baking pan (round or 8×8 square) with butter and sprinkle with flour.
  5. Press the mixture very hard into the bottom of the baking pan, and bake at 350 degree F for half an hour.
  6. Cut with a sharp knife into desired shapes while it is still warm and sprinkle fine sugar on the top.
  7. Let it cool in the pan – if you take it out too soon, it will fall apart.
