There is something to be said for a recipe that only has three ingredients! Its like a magic trick that just butter, flour and sugar can become a melt in the mouth treat in minutes. Every time I make these I am so impressed with their tasty simplicity I am hard pressed not to eat them all myself- I have to hide them in my secret mummy only section that contains the good gin and very good chocolate- don't tell the kids!
