Sister Wirthlin's Shortbread

5 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 lb butter, room temperature (that's 4 squares, folks)

Preheat the oven to 350 degree's. Combine the sugar and butter, mixing until creamy. Add the flour and with your mighty beautiful hands, mush up until everything is just amalgamated. At this point, you may either chill the dough for an hour or so, or put into a 9 x 13-inch glass pan, pressing the dough to a 1/4" thick. Bake until lightly brown (25 minutes or so), remove from oven, prick all over with fork, and cut into squares or diagonals.
