A tender, buttery crumb that needs nothing more than a dusting of sugar. Here it's built on butter, sugar and eggs -- a medium, dessert recipe that starts by heating the oven to 350F/175C, and is ready in roughly 40 minutes.

A 40-minute cook time that's mostly hands-off simmering or roasting.

A few technique steps to focus on, but nothing that needs special equipment.

Built around butter, so the flavor comes from real ingredients, not a spice packet.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (225 g) butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • plus 6 more ingredients
