--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   6       oz           Flour
   2       oz           Cornflour
   5       oz           Butter
   1       oz           Ground almonds
   3       oz           Caster sugar

  Set oven to 350F or Mark 4. Grease a baking sheet.
  Cream the butter in a mixing bowl. Sift together the
  flour and cornflour and add, with the almonds and
  sugar, to the butter. Work the ingredients together
  with the hands. Turn out on to a very lightly floured
  surface and finish kneading until the dough is smooth.
  Roll the dough into two rounds each 1/4 inch thick.
  Prick well with a fork and mark each circle into six
  triangles. Transfer to the baking sheet. Bake for
  about 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before
  cutting and then place on a wire rack to finish
  cooling.
