Parmigiano Reggiano and rosemary shortbread
Makes 15-20
Shortbread dough:
5.6 oz/160 g plain flour
3.2 oz/90 g grated Parmigiano Reggiano
3.5 oz/100 g soft, unsalted butter, softened
2 egg yolks
Black pepper
To serve:
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
1 oz/30 g grated Parmigiano Reggiano
-
Mix together all of the shortbread ingredients to form a dough. Knead gently until smooth. Roll the dough into a cylinder, making sure each end is flat, and wrap in plastic wrap, twisting the ends to form a seal. Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 355°F/180°C. Remove the dough from the fridge and slice it into quarter-inch rounds. Remove the plastic wrap from around the shortbread edges and arrange on a greased baking sheet.
-
Bake for 10-13 minutes. Remove from the oven when the shortbreads are pale gold at the edges. Immediately sprinkle with grated Parmigiano Reggiano and rosemary.

Cool before serving.
