Ingredients

170g (6oz) flour

Handy Hint

You need to be quite quick and have cool hands when making it and have great willpower not to eat it all in one sitting!!

Method

1. Heat oven to 160C/gas mark 2.
2. Mix the flour and sugar together.
3. Rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs.
4. Press it firmly together with your fingers.
5. Roll out to a 1 cm/1/2 inch thick circle or square.
6. Cook until pale golden (about 30 mins)
7. Cut while hot.

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I've been looking for something like this for ages. Mum has a shortbread biscuit recipe using cornflour but it's a much 'lighter' recipe and crispier. Her shorbread recipe is missing - her handwritten book has fallen apart!

This was the recipe that my Mother used to make. She was born in 1904. I have never tasted a better recipe.
