This shortbread recipe consists of 3 basic ingredients and butter is the key. Ingredients1/4 cup caster (or granulated) sugar 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour Extra sugar to sprinkle DirectionsPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a mixing bowl cream together the butter and sugar and beat until pale, light and fluffy. Mix in the flour until the dough is smooth. Once smooth, on a clean surface roll it out to 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough into 2 x 4 inch rectangles and place on a clean baking sheet. Note: you can also press the mixture into a baking tin and cut after. Poke holes in the top with a fork. Sprinkle with extra caster sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes until pale golden and when done, cool on a wire rack. If you baked in a cake pan, cut into pieces before serving. Store in an airtight tin.
