Set oven to 160C (325F). Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl. Gradually add the shifted plain flour and rice flour. Knead the mixture together to make a soft dough, and put it n a fridge for 30 min. On a floured surface roll the dough into a round (or use oiled and sugared shortbread mould to shape). Place it on greased baking tray. Pinch up the edges and prick the top with a fork. Bake for about 45 minutes or until light golden in colour. While still warm, cut into triangles.
