Ingredients

250 g sifted flour
120 g caster sugar

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Heap sifted flour on a lightly floured surface, make a well and add caster sugar, pushing the latter to the sides of the well.

Add chopped butter and free-range egg yolks and combine using your fingertips to create a smooth dough. Knead briefly then wrap in clingfilm and chill for 30 minutes.

Roll out into a rough oval shape and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden. Cool slightly before spreading with ready-made chocolate ganache.
