Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Place the flours in a bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles crumbs. Add the cheese and rosemary, then beat in the yolk and mix with a fork. When the mass begins to form clumps, use your hands to knead a smooth dough.

2. 2

   Take pieces of dough the size of a walnut, form balls and place them on one or two parchment‑lined trays. Slightly flatten with a fork, then bake for 12‑14 minutes. Or roll out the dough between sheets of parchment paper, cut shapes and bake similarly. Let cool on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
