Best traditional buttery shortbread

Name: Best traditional buttery shortbread
Cuisine: British
Ingredients: 350 g plain flour; 350 g butter - at room temperature; this is the key! If it’s cold, it’s hard to get the dough to combine; 150 g fine semolina; 150 g caster sugar; Pinch salt

The semolina gives a crunch; using rice flour instead does the same thing.
Quantities can be easily halved.
Based on a Delia recipe.

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 150c. And line a tin - a 20cm ish square one works.
2

Put everything in a mixing bowl. Rub together until crumbly and then bring together into a dough. Don’t worry if it’s in a couple of balls rather than just one.
3

Put in the tin, press it out evenly and smooth it out with the back of a spoon. Prick it all over with a fork.
4

Bake until golden. It takes about an hour/ an hour and a quarter.
5

Cool and then slice. Enjoy 😋
