Method
1.Preheat oven to moderately slow, 160°C. Line two oven trays with baking paper.
2.Sift flour, icing sugar and rice flour into a large bowl. Rub in butter using fingertips, until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Press mixture together to form a dough.
3.Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently. Halve mixture. Roll or press out each piece until about 1cm thick. Place onto trays.
4.Decorate edges by pinching with fingertips. Mark out 8 equal wedges on each round with a sharp knife. Prick all over with a fork. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake 30-35 minutes, until golden.
5.Cool in trays 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
For a variation, add 1/2 cap well-chopped macadamias or pecans to the dough. To reduce baking time, shape tablespoons of mixture into rounds, arrange on trays and top with half a cherry or nut.
