SCOTTISH SHORTBREAD

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups butter  (do not use margarine)
1 cup packed brown sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour

***

Preheat oven to 325º.  Cream butter and brown sugar.  Add about 3 1/2 cups flour and mix thoroughly.  Put the remaining flour on the area you plan to knead the dough on.  Knead for about five minutes, pulling in more flour as needed to make a soft (not sticky) dough.  Roll to about 1/2" thick then cut into cookie sized rectangles.  Prick with fork. Bake for about 20 minutes (keep an eye on them so they do not burn).
