Classic Shortbread (Three Ingredients)

Ingredients

• 1 cup (225 g) butter, softened
• ½ cup sugar (fine/caster if you have it)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (or 1¾ cups flour + ¼ cup cornstarch for extra tender)
• Pinch of salt
• Extra sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Beat the butter and sugar until smooth and light.
2. Add the flour and salt; mix just until a soft dough forms — don't overwork it.
3. Press into a pan (and score into fingers), or roll and cut into rounds/fingers. Prick all over with a fork.
4. Chill 20 minutes. Heat oven to 150 °C.
5. Bake 18–22 minutes until pale gold, not browned. Sprinkle with sugar while warm.
6. Cool in the pan; cut along the scored lines while still slightly warm.
