Balmoral Shortbread

375 g Plain flour
250 g Butter (nothing else will do)
125 g Sugar
Salt

Preheat oven to 350F / 180C / Gas 4

Sift flour onto a board. Put sugar in a separate pile on the board, and work in butter. Gradually knead in flour: you should end up with a firm dough. Flour the board and roll to a thickness of 3mm to 5mm. Cut into circles and prick with a fork. Bake on a greased tray for 30 minutes.
