1 c. (2 sticks) butter (no substitute)
1/2 c. sugar
2 c. sifted all-purpose flour

Soften butter to room temperature. Combine butter, sugar and flour. Mix with hands until ball forms. Divide dough in half. Place in two 9 inch pie tins. Pat down firmly. Press around edges with fork and prick all over with fork.

Bake at 325°F about 45 to 50 minutes, until golden brown. While still warm, score through into pie shaped wedges. When completely cool, gently cut through original cuts and carefully remove from plate. Delicious alone or served with tea or coffee. Good with fruit or ice cream.
