Recipe: Short'nin' Bread

Here is one of my childhood favorites.  My mom always made this buttery, rich "bread" (which is actually a cookie) and even had a song that she sang to me about it.  To this day it is still one of my favorite treats and, best of all, it only has 3, count 'em 3, ingredients!

Ingredients:
     1/2 C softened butter
     1/2 C sugar
     1 1/4 C flour

Directions:
     -Grease 8 inch round cake pan.
     -Preheat oven to 275 degrees
     -Cream butter and sugar with electric mixer until fluffly
     -Add flour slowly
     -Press mixture into pan
     -Prick the dough all over with a fork
     -Bake for 1 hour or until golden brown.
     -Cool in pan.  Cut and store in airtight container...if you don't eat the whole thing in one sitting.
