Method
step 1
Heat the oven 170C/150C fan/gas 3. Put the flour, butter and sugar into a mixing bowl.

Use your hands to combine the ingredients until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs, then squeeze until it comes together as a dough.
step 3
On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to ½ cm thick.
step 4
Cut the dough into fingers and place on a lined baking tray. Use a fork to create imprints.
step 5
Then sprinkle with the remaining caster sugar.
