Butter cake made with 4 ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 200g of butter
  • 1 and 3/4 cups of wheat flour
  • 1 cup of semolina
  • 1/2 tsp. of salt

METHOD

  1. We let the butter soften at room temperature until it is soft enough to incorporate into the dough. Gradually mix in the semolina and salt. If you don’t want the cookies to be too salty, handle the salt with caution. Half a teaspoon of salt should be sufficient for this amount of flour.
  2. Knead the dough well until it is smooth, gradually incorporating the flour. After thorough kneading, you’ll have a firmer dough, which you shape into a ball.
  3. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and dusting it with flour. Be thorough to prevent the dough from sticking to the paper. Roll out the dough to a thickness of one centimeter.
  4. Once the dough is rolled out, place it on the prepared baking sheet. Spread it out evenly to avoid unevenness. Then, cut the dough into smaller squares or circles, depending on what works best for you.
  5. Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 25 minutes or until golden brown. And you’re done, the cookies can be served immediately. They go well with forest fruits, honey, but a dusting of powdered sugar on individual pieces is also sufficient.
