To make the sweet paste

Step 1 Leave the butter out at room temperature overnight so it is nice and soft.

Step 2 Sieve the flour and icing sugar together. Then beat the eggs well.

Step 3 Incorporate the butter and egg mixtures into the flour and work quickly into a smooth paste. It will be quite sticky. Wrap it in clingfilm. Shape it like a tile the size of an A4 piece of paper and you will have less rolling to do later. Refrigerate for at least two hours.

Step 4 Roll out the sweet paste and line the tins.
