How to make this recipe
- Heat the oven to 160C (140C fan) and line the baking tin with baking parchment.
- In a large bowl, rub together flour and butter using your hands until the texture resembles fine breadcrumbs, then add sugar, vanilla and pinch of salt.
- Transfer the mixture into a lined baking tray and press firmly using the back of the spoon. Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown. Leave to cool in the tin.
