Aunt Mary's Shortbread

Ingredients:
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
sugars, granulated
butter, salted

Directions:
Beat the sugar and butter with a spoon until creamy.
In three batches, sift and mix the flour into the sugar-butter mixture.
Mix well, until fluffy.
(my Aunt Mary uses a wooden spoon for mixing, but you can use electric beaters).
Pat the dough flat onto a greased cookie sheet, covering about 3/4 of the pan (I pat the dough into neatly formed rectangular shape).
Puncture the dough at regular intervals with a fork.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Cut into 15 pieces per pan (1 inch wide).
Bake 1/2 hour at 300-325F Let cool.
