Stop everything and make my grandmother's shortbread right now!!!!!

1 ½ cups flour

½ tsp salt

½ cup corn starch

1 cup butter

½ cup sugar

Sift flour, salt, cornstarch together twice then work in sugar, then butter continually kneading and working until the dough is fine and smooth. Press in 9 inch square pan and bake at 350° for half to ¾ hours.

@Kurtroedeger what is this starch of the corn of which you speak. Sounds like a rare ingredient or the concoction of an alchemist.
By the temperature that this concoction must be fired sounds like it needs the flame of a dragon to produce. This flame would boil water at least three and a half times over, in this land.

😜

@Kurtroedeger tis the preferred measurement system.
Though cups of butter are always a challenge.

@Kurtroedeger I was making a banana loaf and my digital scales decided to go on the fritz.
I have a set of cups, that I rarely use, and had to Google what 140 grams of flour, butter and suger was in cups. 1 and 1/8th of a cup is not easy to measure. :)

It's easy, just use about 7.5 gerbils worth.
Or 3/4 of a wild guinea pig. Not domesticated, they too chunky.

@Kurtroedeger interesting. I think I have a Siberian hamster that I could use and just scale up from gerbil by a ninth or three.
