2/3 cup Fruit sugar, 4 oz
1 cup Cornstarch, 4 oz
1 3/4 cup Flour, all purpose, 8 oz
"Our winner, Patricia Ralston who is originally from Glasgow,
Scotland, fits the bill with her mother's recipe. It's crisp, crumbly
and buttery. Patricia recommends a food processor for a lighter
product. (she weighs the ingredients). Make traditional rounds or
slice dough into cookies and bake about 18 minutes. Never grease the
baking sheets."
In a food processor or by hand, cream butter and sugar together until
light and fluffy. Sieve cornstarch and flour together and gradually
beat into creamed mixture. Knead until smooth. press into 12 X 8
square pan. Smooth top and mark into "fingers". prick with fork. Bake
at 325F for 50 minutes. If shortbread starts to brown, turn down to
300F. Recut fingers and dredge with fruit sugar while still warm.
Cool in pan.

A few tips on healthy eating
If your aim is to become slim and develop your general condition, among other things you really should eat a carefully configured healthy meal plan. At best, this needs to contain five standard portions of grains, cereals and vegetables daily and require the optimum blend of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
When planning a daily routine, you have to make efforts to cut back on your ingestion of refined carbohydrates, salt and fats.
When people first start dieting, they ordinarily direct your attention to supermarket and big brand food items sold as 'low fat'. This is most certainly an error, since an item may be very low in fats, but also contain far too much carbs.
Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a normal afternoon, you imagine you are a little hungry when in truth you might only want a pure tumbler of water or juice. The feelings of being thirsty and being hungry are similar, albeit one of the two results in a broken diet and one does not.
As an alternative to thinking about those unhealthy foods you really should remove from your diet, focus on the sensible foods that you should introduce to your diet. If you can inject the recommended amount nourishing fruit & vegetables into your weight loss program, you will find that you feel more satisfied and have a substantially reduced probability of falling prey to those unhealthy between meals snacks.
