Shortbread

I think I found this recipe in Taste of the South.

It is so simple with just 3 ingredients.

I made 2 batches today so have a tin full to take to a friend.

Shortbread

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F

Cream together until light and fluffy

1 cup softened butter

and 1/2 cup sugar

Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour.

Pat into a 13 x 9 inch pan.

Bake 30-40 minutes until lightly browned.

Remove from oven.

Prick with a fork in a zigzag pattern to allow steam to escape.

Allow to cool then cut. 

(I love the tins with the clear tops, I just got 2 but maybe I can find more of them).
