SHORTBREAD:

• 1 cup plain flour
• 7 Tbsp. unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 2 1/3 Tbsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. Arctic Thyme Salt, plus 1/2 tablespoon for sprinkling

Put the flour, butter, salt and sugar into a mixing bowl. Use your hands to combine the ingredients until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs, then squeeze until it comes together as a dough. 

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to ½ cm thick. Cut the dough into rectangles and place on a lined baking tray. Use a fork to create texture, then sprinkle with the remaining salt.

Chill the dough in the fridge for 20 mins, then bake for 15-20 mins until golden brown. Remove the shortbread cookies from the oven and leave to cool on a rack.

Serves: 2-3
