2.  Rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs

3.  Press dough into a 9 x 11 baking tray.

4.  Prick dough with a fork. 

5.  Bake at 320 F for +- 1 hour

6.  Cut while soft, then allow the shortbread to cool in the baking tray before turning out.

7.  Drench with a little additional sugar if desired.

8.  Enjoy!
