Ingredients

150g/6oz plain flour

100g/4oz lightly salted butter, in pieces and softened

50g/2oz caster sugar

caster sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

Preheat the oven to 150C. Put the flour in a mixing bowl, add the butter and rub together to make fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar.

Work the mixture together until it forms a ball. Turn out on to a work surface and knead briefly until smooth. Roll and pat out on a very lightly floured surface an 18cm/7in round. Smooth the surface with your hands.

Carefully slide the dough on to an ungreased baking sheet and flute the edges (so there is an in-out pattern around the edges). Mark the circle into eight triangles with a knife, not cutting all the way through. Prick the surface all over with a fork.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until cooked. The shortbread should be very pale. While still warm, cut through the markings and sprinkle with caster sugar. Cool before eating.
