Sea salt water biscuits

If you fancy adding your own flavours, try sprinkling over a teaspoon of fennel seeds with the salt, or adding two tablespoonfuls of sesame seeds to the mix, or simply whizzing in a clove of garlic when you make the dough

Heat oven to /fan /gas Line two baking sheets with parchment. Place the flour, baking powder, butter and tsp of the flaky salt in a food processor, then whiz for a minute until the butter is completely mixed with the flour. Add tbsp water and pulse until the dough comes together. If it still feels dry, add tsp more water and process until you have a soft but not sticky dough.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately x cm and as thin as possible. Brush a little water over the surface of the dough, scatter tsp salt flakes over and press in lightly. Prick the dough all over with a fork, then cut into squares.
Place on the prepared trays - don't worry if they stretch a bit. Bake for - mins until the biscuits feel dry and sandy but are still pale - they may still feel soft but will harden up when cooling. Transfer to a wire rack and leave until completely cool. Will keep in an airtight container for up to weeks.
