6 oz Flour
2 oz Cornflour
5 oz Butter

Set oven to 350F or Mark 4. Grease a baking sheet.
Cream the butter in a mixing bowl. Sift together the
flour and cornflour and add, with the almonds and
sugar, to the butter. Work the ingredients together

about 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before
cutting and then place on a wire rack to finish
cooling.
