Ingredients:

  • 150 g butter

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 180 C / 350 F / Gas Mark 4.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl.
  3. Work in the flour with a wooden spoon or mixer. It won't look right - just like a pile of crumbs. That's how it should look.
  4. Press into a mould / tin (I used an 8 round shortbread ceramic mould) - and I really mean press. Pour out a pile of the crumbs, press them down until they're compact, then spread the rest over and compress them down too, then bake in moderate oven for 35 - 45 minutes, or until the shortbread is golden in colour.
  5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool BEFORE turning out of the mould / tin.
