This looks like a great recipe but I think there is a step missing between #2 and #3. I would imagine we would need to cream together the butter and some of the sugar before adding flour and salt. I'll keep searching until I find the correct version and then comment!

I am a busy single mom of 5 growing boys!!
My children's ages are 21,18,14,12 and 10 1/2.
In my spare time,when I have any, I try to walk 3 miles a day.I like to read Woman's World and inspirational books and if I didn't have 5 beautiful boys to care for, I would probably be doing missionary work.
I live in the beautiful Okanagan Valley in British Columbia and I swear we must be living in Heaven on earth!!!I would love to travel if I had the resources and time with Brazil and South America being on the top of my list of places to see.
