Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 375 g Flour plain
  • 250 g Butter Unsalted. NOT Margarine
  • 125 g Sugar Caster or Granulated
  • 1 pinch salt

DISCLAIMER

I recommend using the Metric measurements (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.

Instructions

  • Watch the video to see how to make the dough, click the photo below.
  • Roll out to about 1/2 inch Do Not add any flour at this stage or you will upset the recipe, it's a very delicate balance of just 3 ingredients.
  • Cut into fingers or press into a suitable tin (See Video on how I do it)
  • Bake at 160ºC/140ºC Fan/360ºf for about 20 - 25 minutrs or until you just see a little browning starting round the edge.
  • Sprinkle with sugar and leave to cool completely.
