1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

 

Instructions:

3.In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

4.Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.

2.Pour the melted butter over the mixture and then sprinkle with the flour. Stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and looks like coarse sand. Do not overmix or it will become too wet.
