Grandma’s English Recipes

1 3/4 cups plain flour
8-10 ozs butter (nothing else will do)
6 oz sugar
salt

Preheat oven to 350F

Sift flour onto a board.
Put sugar in a separate pile on the board, and work in butter.
Gradually knead in flour: you should end up with a firm dough.
Flour the board and roll to a thickness of 3mm to 5mm.
Cut into circles and prick with a fork.
Bake on a greased tray for 30 minutes.
