A simple jar mix of flour, powdered sugar and salt. The baker adds softened butter, presses the dough into a pie plate and bakes it low and slow.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  • Add the flour, powdered sugar, and salt to a 1-quart jar in layers, or close them up together in a vacuum bag.
  • Attach the baking directions.

Notes

Add: 1 cup softened butter. Knead the butter into the entire package of mix until a soft dough forms. Press firmly and evenly into an 8-inch pie plate or shortbread mold. Bake at 300°F for 1 hour. Remove while still pale and cut into 16 pieces while warm.
Storage: dry mix about 6 to 8 months airtight in a cool, dry place; dough refrigerated, bake within about 3 to 4 days; shortbread airtight 5 to 7 days.
