Shortbread

Ingredients

• 1 lb butter
• ½ lb fruit sugar (superfine/caster sugar)
• 3 c. flour (cake or pastry)
• ½ lb rice flour (box)

Method

Knead until cracks. Cut in half. Put in 2 pans. Press down firmly. Cut in squares.

Bake at 300° 1 hour.

Fork holes for decoration.

Notes

"Fruit sugar" is the older name for superfine (caster) sugar — not a fruit-flavoured product. The rice flour is not optional in a traditional shortbread; it is what gives the short, sandy texture. Card gives no pan size. ⚠ Pan dimensions not stated on the card.
