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 centimetre thick or make biscuits.
Bake at 160 degrees until very pale golden.
This recioe is best in a none fan oven and is also best if not made in a mixer.
