Petticoat tails (scottish)

Yield: 12 Servings

Ingredients:

8 oz Flour
4 oz Cornflour or Rice Flour
4 oz Butter
4 oz Icing Sugar

Instructions:

Caster Sugar for Dredging : Set the oven to 350F/Gas 4. Grease a baking sheet. Cream the butter and icing sugar together in a bowl. Sift in the flours and work into a smooth dough; if the dough is too dry a little water can be added to moisten. Divide into two. Roll out on a floured surface and shape into two thin rounds. Place on the sheet and prick all over with a fork. Mark each round into 6 triangles. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until pale golden in colour. Sprinkle with the caster sugar while still warm. Cut into the triangles and cool on a wire rack. : :: From the booklet Scottish Teatime Recipes :: Typed in for you by Ray Watson
