Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add flour and cornflour mix well with a wooden spoon or spatula, then put your hands in and bring together to make a dough.

Press the dough into the prepared in, level it with the back of a spoon or spatula. sprinkle all over with a fork and place in the oven for 50 minutes until lightly golden.
