Shortbread Pastry

1. 1

   The ingredients need to be cold before you start.

2. 2

   Place the flour in a bowl with a little salt, to taste.

3. 3

   Then throw in the butter and use your fingertips to rub it into the flour until you get a crumbly, sand-like texture.

4. 4

   Mix in the egg yolk and egg, just until they are both incorporated.

5. 5

   At this point the dough will be wet and difficult to roll out.

6. 6

   Lay some clingfilm on your counter and place the dough on top.

7. 7

   Cover with more clingfilm.

8. 8

   Roll lightly to flatten, then leave to rest in the fridge for at least one hour.

9. 9

   Shape as desired, then cook at 150 C or 300 F until golden.

10. 10

    For a round shortbread using all the dough, this will probably take about 30 minutes.
