Heat the oven on 170 C, 325 F or Gas Mark 3.
Cream the butter or margarine with the caster sugar until white and shiny.
Sieve the plain flour and cornflour together, then gradually work them into
the creamed mixture with a wooden spoon. Knead until smooth.
Take about 1 heaped teaspoon of the mixture at a time and roll it in the
palm of your hand. Arrange the little balls on a greased baking tray and
bake for 30-40 minutes until they are pale golden.
Whilst the biscuits are still warm, toss them in the icing sugar or
cinnamon and sugar and then leave to cool on a wire rack.
