Thyme And Lemon Savoury Shortbread

1. 1

   Stir together the flour, salt, lemon zest and thyme.

2. 2

   Rub in the butter with your fingertips to form a breadcrumb-like consistency.

3. 3

   Using a wooden spoon, beat in the egg and yolks (reserve a small amount of beaten egg for brushing).

4. 4

   Knead a couple of times then wrap and place in the fridge for half an hour.

5. 5

   Unwrap and roll out until half an inch thick. Cut into whatever shape you wish - the traditional is strips.

6. 6

   Use a fork to brick the tops of the biscuits, then brush with the remaining egg and sprinkle generously with the sea salt.

7. 7

   Place in a pre-heated oven at 350F until golden (about 20 minutes). Turn out onto a rack to cool. Serve at room temperature.
