Put the butter (room temperature) into a mixing bowl with the peanut butter and beat with a wooden spoon or electric whisk until creamy. Gradually beat in the sugar until the mixture looks lighter in colour and is fluffy. Sift the flour and salt into the bowl and work all the ingredients together with your hands until thoroughly combined. Form the dough into a uniform log shape around 20cm long. Wrap in clingfilm and chill in the refridgerator for 20 to 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 170ºC/325ºF/Gas Mark 3. Unwrap the chilled dough and slice rounds around 1cm thick using a sharp knife. Place on a lined baking tray slightly apart. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the top just feels firm but not too coloured (Note: the peanut butter will make these slightly darker than a plain shortbread recipe, so don't worry). Renove from the oven, sprinkle over some caster sugar, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
