Norman's Semolina Shortbread

Ingredients

8 oz. all-purpose flour
4 oz. semolina
8 oz. European butter, cold
4 oz. Caster sugar
1 oz. Vanilla powder, for dusting

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 285°F.
2. Mix together the flour and semolina in a bowl.
3. Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the sugar and rub together with your fingertips. Knead lightly to form a smooth dough.
4. Press the dough into two 7” greased pans and level (I use a potato masher). Prick all over with a fork and chill until firm.
5. Bake for about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with the vanilla powder and leave to cool in the pan, then cut into fingers.
