This is a family recipe passed on by my Great Auntie Annie who lived independently until the age of 100. She eventually passed away at 102.

8oz Butter

4-5oz Icing Sugar

6oz Cornflour

6oz Plain Flour

Beat the butter until soft & add icing sugar.

Beat well.

Carefully mix in the flour & cornflour and knead well.

Makes 2 rounds about half a centimetre thick or make biscuits.

Bake at 160 degrees until very pale golden.

This recipe is best in a non-fan oven and is also best if not made in a mixer.
