- Preheat the oven to 150 C / Gas 2.
- Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Stir in the sifted flours; press the mixture together with hands to form a firm dough. Knead gently on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough between two sheets of greaseproof paper until 1cm thick. Using a 6cm cutter, cut rounds from dough. Place onto greased baking trays and sprinkle with the sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until a pale golden colour. Leave the shortbread on the tray for five minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
