- Preheat your oven to 150 C / Gas 2.
- Add flours, caster sugar, cornflour and salt to a bowl. Work the butter in with your fingertips until it resembles bread crumbs.
- Then work the dough until it holds together.
- Roll it out on a floured surface and cut into shapes. Put on a lined baking tin and prick it all over with a fork.
- Bake until light in colour, about 40 minutes.
- Once done place your shortbread on a wire rack to cool then sprinkle with the sugar.
