1. Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4. In a bowl, cream together the butter, caster sugar and rosemary and sift the flour and cornflour over.

2. Bring together by hand to form a smooth dough, but don’t overmix.

3. On a floured board, roll out the dough to 5mm (¼in) thick and cut out stars using the cutter. Gather the leftover dough and roll it out again, repeating until it has all been used.

4. Place the stars on the try and bake for 15-20mins. Sprinkle with the sugar and salt, then leave to cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
