Method
For the shortbread dough- Sieve together the flour, baking powder and cornflour. Keep aside.

How to proceed - Divide the dough into 2 portions and roll out each portion into a sheet of 3 mm. (1/8") thickness.

- Cover with the second sheet and press down around each mound of filling.

- Knead the left-over portion of the dough and repeat steps 1 to 4.
