15 biscuits
ingredients
- 210 g flour
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped

- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
directions
- Stir together the flour, salt, lemon zest and thyme.
- Rub in the butter with your fingertips to form a breadcrumb-like consistency.
- Using a wooden spoon, beat in the egg and yolks (reserve a small amount of beaten egg for brushing).
- Knead a couple of times then wrap and place in the fridge for half an hour.
- Unwrap and roll out until half an inch thick. Cut into whatever shape you wish - the traditional is strips.
