This is my Scottish grandmother's recipe. It melts in your mouth rather than be hard and crunchy like the North American version.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 cup flour
3/4 cup butter, softened
Directions:
1. Sift cornstarch, sugar and flour together.
2. Blend in butter until combined and then use hands to knead into a soft dough.
3. Shape dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. Place dough in the bottom of a greased 9x9-inch pan and bake at 300°F for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned.
5. Cool completely in pan and cut into squares.
6. Store in an airtight container.
