Ingredients

• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
• 2 sticks butter, cut into pieces

Here's how to make it: 

1. Whisk together the flour and sugar in a bowl. 
2. Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut the butter into the flour-sugar mixture. Keep working the dough until it forms a ball. Divide the dough into two equal portions.
3. Press each half of the mixture into a shallow round baking dish or tart pan. Prick the surface of the dough all over with a fork. 
4. Bake in a preheated 325-degree F oven for about 30 to 40 minutes or until it is light brown. 
5. Cut into triangles and allow to cool. Sprinkle with additional granulated sugar, if desired.

Note: You can add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, almond extract or your favorite baking extract to the batter.
