250g Western Star butter, softened

2/3 cup pure icing sugar

2 cups plain flour

1 cup rice flour

1 teaspoon caster sugar, for sprinkling

Method:

Process all ingredients, except caster sugar together in a food processor until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Press mixture together until it forms a dough. Divide dough in two and refrigerate.
Roll out dough between 2 sheets of baking paper until 5mm thick.
Using a star-shaped cutter, cut shapes from dough. Transfer to prepared trays. Sprinkle with caster sugar if desired.
Bake at 160°C for approximately 30 minutes or until dry and firm but still pale. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar. Serve.
