- 250g plain flour

- Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan. Cover a couple of baking sheets with baking paper
- Dust the work surface with flour and start by rolling out half the dough (keep the other dough in the fridge). Roll to about 0.5 cm thick and then cut out biscuits in any shape you desire and lay on baking sheet
- Pass the last egg yolk through a sieve and use the sieved mix to lightly glaze the biscuits. Sprinkle with the pearl sugar and bake around 15 min until lightly golden. While they bake prepare the second baking sheet
