Glasgow Shortbread

Ingredients

• Servings: 1
• 1 lb butter
• 2 cups sugar (castor sugar)
• 3 cups rice flour
• 3 cups flour (the combination of the flours should make 6 cups)

Recipe

• 1 in a large bowl, cream the sugar and butter together.
• 2 then add about 3 cups of the combined flour just so you can take the dough out the bowl to knead the rest of the flour in.
• 3 knead the flour in until the dough is of a smooth round ball.
• 4 almost the consistency of marzipan or almond paste. in the summer, when making this, you may need a little more flour.
• 5 for two 8-inch cake pans: cut the ball of dough in half.
• 6 flatten the dough into the pan, making a smooth surface. at this time, you can either use a fork and prick the dough all over or use what looks like a butter mold ( there are shortbread molds with thistle out there).
• 7 bake for one hour or until golden brown in an oven of 400 degrees. enjoy
