1/2 c. sugar
1 c. butter
2 c. flour

Mix together with electric mixer as many times as you desire. Doubling the amount is not advised. Just repeat the ingredients as often as you like. It takes about three to fill one large cookie pan. (The true recipe used for years in Scotland was mixed by hand on a table top and 1 tablespoon of rice powder was always part of the 2 cups of flour.)

Place in a flat pan (no greasing is necessary) and smooth with a knife. Prick throughout with a fork or batter will bubble. Bake about 25 minutes at 325 degrees. Cut into squares while still warm.
