Heat oven to 375º F (190 ºC).
Start by mixing the butter and sugar together, but DO NOT CREAM them.
Add the flour and mix to a stiff consistency. Don't overwork the dough; stop when it just comes together.
Roll out into the shape of a pan or tin you want to bake them in.
Place it in the pan of your choice. Proper shortbread should be quite thick (no less than ¾" or 2cm if making fingers).
Use a bench scraper or knife to cut the dough into fingers. Next, prick the shortbread with a fork, about half way through.
You can also shape the dough into a ball, roll it out into a round, and score into triangles, then prick with a fork.
Place in preheated oven for 15 to 30 minutes or until slightly brown on edges.
Sprinkle with sugar immediately upon removing from the oven.
Let your shortbread cool on or in the pan or tray before moving to rack to cool completely.
