- 3/4 cup (90g) icing sugar (powdered sugar)
- 2 cups (300g) plain / all purpose flour

- Beat butter until smooth (or use very soft butter and a wooden spoon).
- Add icing sugar and beat until combined.
- Add half the flour and beat until mostly combined – it will resemble wet sand.
- Then beat in the remainder.
