Mary Barber’s Grandmother’s Shortbread

Mary Barber's Grandmother's Short Bread
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup sweet butter (softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup white flour
  • 1/2 cup white rice flour
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees
  • Cream butter and sugar
  • Mix in flours
  • Pat out into rectangle 1/4″ thick (The  heat of your hand helps the short dough stick together. I finish with a rolling pin.)
  • Place on cookie sheet or press into short bread mold that has been sprayed with cooking oil.
  • Prick all over with a fork
  • Put into oven
  • Bake until the edges are golden (45-60 minutes). Keep checking. (If you under bake it the center will be greasy and soft.)
  • Allow to cool before cutting or turning our of mold.
