2 cups corn starch (Yes it seems like a lot - just go with it).
4 cups plain flour
pinch salt
470g butter, at room temp
1tbs sugar
- Add sugar, corn starch, flour and salt to a large bowl and mix.
- Cut butter into smallish bits and rub into the mix. Don't think dirty. Rubbing butter into flour is not a sexual act at all. I promise. You will know when it's done when it's a sandy texture.
- Put in a tray, press it all down until its even and solid. Make sure it is no thicker than an inch or the inside will not be cooked.
- Go ahead and make marks in the shorbread with a fork or something I want to use the term "prick", but i'm giggling like a school girl.
- Bake for like 35-40 minutes at 180, then reduce heat to about 140 for another 20 mins or until golden. Golden like treasure. Delicious Treasure.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with that 1tbs of sugar that you seen at the end of the ingredients list and thought "what the hell does she want me to do with a tablespoon of sugar- she is high for sure".
- Cool for 5 minutes then cut her up whilst she us still in the tray. (yes, it does have a gender).
- Let them continue to cool before removing from tray.
