Ingredients

  • 125 g/4 oz butter

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas5.
  2. Beat the butter and the sugar together until smooth.
  3. Stir in the flour to get a smooth paste. Turn on to a work surface and gently roll out until the paste is 1cm/½in thick.
  4. Cut into rounds or fingers and place onto a baking tray. Sprinkle with icing sugar and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  5. Bake in the oven for 15–20 minutes, or until pale golden-brown. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.
