THYME AND LEMON SAVOURY SHORTBREAD
Made these for the first time yesterday. Very easy to make and something different to sweet biscuits. Make sure you're generous with the sprinkled salt; I was a little stingy and found they tasted a lot better when I put some more on. They can be stored in an air-tight container for up to one week.

Steps:
- 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.
- Use a fork to brick the tops of the biscuits, then brush with the remaining egg and sprinkle generously with the sea salt.
- Place in a pre-heated oven at 350F until golden (about 20 minutes). Turn out onto a rack to cool. Serve at room temperature.

SAVOURY SHORTBREAD
Steps:
- 1.To the bowl of a food processor, add flour and cayenne pepper; pulse to combine. Add butter, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds. 2.Add cheese to the food processor; pulse until combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. 3.Using a fork, stir in milk and Worcestershire sauce until well combined. Have ready several pieces of parchment paper. 4.Form mixture into two 1-inch-diameter logs, and wrap in parchment. Transfer the logs to the refrigerator, and chill until very firm, at least 1 hour. 5.Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove logs from refrigerator, and cut each one into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Place the rounds on prepared baking sheets, spaced 1 inch apart. 6.Bake the shortbread until golden, about 12 minutes, rotating baking sheets between shelves halfway through baking. 7.Transfer shortbread to wire racks to cool. Bake remaining dough.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the butter, flour, stuffing mix and cheese into a medium bowl and mix well into a dough using a wooden spoon.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a 5mm thickness and use a cutter of your choice to stamp out as many biscuits as you can. If needed, re-roll the trimmings and repeat until you've used up all the dough.
- Transfer the biscuits to a generously buttered baking tray and bake for 10-12 mins until lightly golden at the edges. Leave to cool completely on the tray - they will firm up more as they cool. Scatter over another grating of cheese before serving.
