Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/160Fan/350F. Grease and base line 2x20cm cake tins.

  2. Cream the butter and icing sugar together until very light and fluffy. Mix in the flour until it forms a soft dough (if you're using a stand mixer place a tea towel over it - otherwise you'll have a flour explosion!)

  3. Divide the dough into two equal portions (I like to weigh it to make sure I have equal portions) and press into the cake tins, using a spoon or just your hands to smooth it as best as you can.

Chef's Notes



I always use salted butter for cookies and biscuits, but you can use unsalted if you prefer. If you use unsalted butter, stir 1/4 teaspoon of fine salt into the flour.
