| 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. | 2. Cream together the butter and sugar until very smooth. | 3. Sift the flour into the butter mixture and using a pastry mixer (or two forks), work the ingredients into a crumbly but very fine mixture. | 4. Add the cayenne pepper. | 5. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to prefered thickness (I usually make mine kind of thin- about 1/8 inch). | 6. Cut into desired shapes and place on a nonstick baking sheet. | 7. Bake until golden brown. | 8. The time will depend on the size and thickness of your shortbreads. | 9. I usually bake mine for about 8 minutes, but if you are unsure, check after 5 minutes to make sure that you don't overbake them. | 10. Cool on racks and enjoy! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
