Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This can be done using an electric mixer on medium speed or a wooden spoon if mixing by hand.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose white wheat flour and the corn flour until they are well combined.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together and no dry flour is visible. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
- Take small portions of the dough (about a tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.
- Gently flatten each ball with the back of a fork, creating a slight indentation pattern on the top.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuits just start to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake; the biscuits should remain pale.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, the butter biscuits are ready to be enjoyed. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

The biscuits are done when the edges start to turn golden, but the tops should remain pale. Remove them from the oven immediately to prevent overbaking.
Yes, you can substitute corn flour with an equal amount of all-purpose flour if you don’t have corn flour on hand. However, this may alter the texture slightly.

A standard baking sheet (about 18x13 inches) works well for this recipe. Make sure to leave space between the biscuits while placing them on the sheet.
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature; this will make it easier to cream with the sugar.
- Sift the flours together to ensure there are no lumps, resulting in a smoother dough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help the biscuits hold their shape.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the biscuits from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Keep an eye on the biscuits while baking; they should be lightly golden at the edges but not overly browned.
