Lilian Blake's Shortbread © (Submitted by Maatjie Greeff E-Mail ) (my mother waited 30 years to get this one off an old lady who passed it on with her dying breath [well almost] and it is, without doubt, the ultimate shortbread recipe.) 

Ingredients :

5 cups of Cake Flour
1 cup of Castor Sugar
500 grams of Butter (absolutely not margarine)

Method :

  1. Cream together the Butter and Sugar while adding Sugar a little (very little)  at a time.
  2. Stir in the Cake Flour. The resulting mixture must not stick to your hands.
  3. Press into jam roll tins. This must be no more than 1 cm thick. Bake at 140°C for 30 minutes or more. The top be golden brown when done.
