Traditional All-Butter Shortbread

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325F/165C.

Step 2

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Sieve the flour, cornflour and salt and mix into the creamed butter and sugar until well incorporated.

Step 4

Roll out and cut into rounds. I used a 58mm/2¼inch cookie cutter and got 26 cookies from the mix.

Step 5

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until pale golden.

Step 6

Remove to a wire rack to cool and dust with sugar while still warm.
