Method

Step 1

Put all the ingredients, except for the egg yolks, into the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture looks like fine crumbs.

Step 2

Add the egg yolks and process until the dough comes together. Remove the blade then tip the ball of dough out of the bowl and onto a floured work surface.

Step 3

Shape the dough into a log 6cm thick and 20cm long. Wrap in greaseproof or foil then chill for 3 hours.

Step 4

When ready to cook, heat the oven to 220C/400F/Gas 6. Slice the dough into rounds 5mm thick. Place the rounds on baking trays, spaced slightly apart.

Step 5

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until a light golden brown.

Step 6

The biscuits will be fragile, so leave them to cool on the trays until firm then transfer to a wire cooling rack. When completely cold store in an airtight container.
