| 1. The ingredients need to be cold before you start. | 2. Place the flour in a bowl with a little salt, to taste. | 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. Mix in the egg yolk and egg, just until they are both incorporated. | 5. At this point the dough will be wet and difficult to roll out. | 6. Lay some clingfilm on your counter and place the dough on top. | 7. Cover with more clingfilm. | 8. Roll lightly to flatten, then leave to rest in the fridge for at least one hour. | 9. Shape as desired, then cook at 150 C or 300 F until golden. | 10. For a round shortbread using all the dough, this will probably take about 30 minutes. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
