This was my Mum's.rather delicious.Peheat oven to 150oC. Soften 350g butter.Add 170g icing sugar, 1/2tspn salt, 100g cornflour.The mixture should be quick stiff. I find it best to use my hands as the warmth helps to keep the mixture soft. When all mixed together, shape into the shape of a long square log.Cut in 15mm thick, prick with fork, place on oven tray and bake for30 mins - or until the shortbread is slightly coloured. It is melt in the mouth lovlery.

This is a recipe from the Bero book (UK). My Grandmother used this recipe too. 6oz butter 3oz sugar 9oz plain flour
Mix all ingredients together until a firm paste.Roll out and cut into rounds or fingers, place on baking tray and prick with a fork and bake @ 160C for 12-15 minutes.

My friend Robyn gave me this shortbtread recipe, it's quick, easy and really delicious. Soften a pound of butter and beat with 1 cup caster sugar. Sift together 4 cups plain flour,1/2 cup rice flour,1/2 tsp mixed spice. Mix altogether. I roll in to two logs and chill to firm then slice logs and place each biscuit on baking paper allowing room to spread. You can also roll mixture out between two sheets of grease proof and use cookie cutters. Bake 20 mins or so ( till slightly golden ) 150 degrees in oven.

Still like the old Edmonds original recipe, with the icing sugar. *mine is from the 1976 version*. Very creamy and buttery. Yum.
