Years ago, one of the students at my school gave me one of these shortbreads and I immediately asked for her "Mum's" recipe. The note on the recipe says the family is from "Perth, Scotland and Threlkeld, England."
Are we ready for tea? =^..^=
Cream butter and sugar with a mixer. Add 3 to 3 ¾ cups flour. Mix well.
3
Sprinkle board with remaining flour. Knead for 5 minutes, adding enough flour to make a soft dough.
4
Roll to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into 3 x 1 inch strips. Prick with fork and place on ungreased baking sheets.
5
Bake at 325 degrees F. for 20 to 25 minutes, until light brown and done. Cool before storing in an airtight container.
