Prep:1h 45minCook:25min
Chilling is the only thing that takes any time!
400 grams of butter softened
1 cup of super fine sugar or caster sugar (I make my own I just buy regular sugar and blitz it a few times in the food processor)
Zest and. Juice of two lemons
1 1/2 tsp rosemary
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
Cream butter and sugar together till fluffy. Add zest, rosemary and half the flour. Mix just till combined. Add lemon juice and the rest of the flour mix till combined but don't over mix!
Spread it out patting it down into a parchment lined pan. Cover with plastic wrap or parchment and refrigerate 1 hour minimum Finishing rolling out till it fills the pan or pans. I have a large baking pan I use. Bigger than a 9x13 but you could easily make two small trays.
Chill again for 20-30 minutes. Use a knife and score the squares. Bake at 325 for 25 minutes
