Ingredients

  • 1 lb of butter
  • 1.5 cup of icing sugar
  • 1 cup of rice flour
  • 3.5 cups of all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Cream butter with wooden spoon (not too thin)
  2. Add rice flour & sugar, mix together
  3. Sift in the flour, 0.5 cup at a time
  4. Knead with hands and then add to greased baking pan (9x13" works best)
  5. Bake at 300 degrees for 60 minutes (until edges are golden)

Recipe Notes

I use my Kitchen Aid mixer instead of a wooden spoon for creaming.
This also makes terrific cookies. If making cookies, reduce cook time by 15 minutes.
