    Preparation 

    • Take butter at room temperature and add salt. In a separate bowl, mix the corn flour and flour well. Add icing sugar to it and mix. Add the dry ingredients to the butter and mix well.
     
    • Pour onto an 11x11 tray and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Before putting it into the oven, it is a good idea to mark the required size onto the dough so it is easy to cut later.
