Step 2:
Put the butter into a large bowl and mix with the sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
Step 3:
Gradually add the plain flour until it almost becomes like pastry dough. Dust a surface with a little flour and lightly knead the dough. Roll out to about 2cm thick.

Using your hand. shape the dough and ease into the tin. Pinch the edging to make a scallop edge for the shortbread and prick with a fork. Score the dough into 8 slices.
