Scottish Shortbread

100g plain flour
100g butter, at room temperature
50g caster sugar
50g semolina

Method:
1. Preheat the oven at gas mark 2/160C/140C fan. Place all the ingredients together in a food processor and mix until it forms a smooth dough. If you don't have a food processor just mix together in a bowl with a wooden spoon or your hands.
2. Roll shortbread mix out to for an 8 inch diameter circle and flute the edges with the back of a fork.
3. Now prick gently over the top with the fork and score the surface of the round into 8 even wedges, then sprinkle all over with caster sugar.
4. Bake for 20-25 mins until firm and golden, then set aside to cool a little but cut wedges whilst still slightly warm.
5. Once they are completely cool, store in an airtight container.
