Put into a food processor bowl: 250 g flour, 125 g butter, 125 g caster sugar and 1 egg.

Stage 8 - 5 min.
Chocolate and matcha tea biscuits : Stage 8
Remove any remaining flour from the dough (with a soft brush, for example) and moisten the top of each rectangle using a pastry brush. This is so that the 2 pieces of dough will stick together.

Stage 9 - 3 min.

Stage 10 - 2 min.

Roll under your hands to even up the shape and seal the seam well.

Stage 14 - 45 min.
Chocolate and matcha tea biscuits : Stage 14

Stage 15 - 5 min.

After 45 minutes, Cut the roll of dough into slices 0.5 or 1 cm thick.

Remarks
As always with shortbread-style biscuits, it is important not to overcook them. They should still be slightly yielding and not completely hard and dry.

You can vary this recipe however you wish, using flavours other than chocolate and matcha, so use your imagination. I have a little weakness myself for lemon and pistachio.
Keeping: A few days in an airtight tin.

A little dessert that's rather long to make, but which will always impress your guests. Layered in a glass: a jellied red fruit coulis, a layer of pineapple charlotte cream, a layer of kiwi coulis, topped with a peeled clementine segment. It's "european" because it resembles the italian flag, and in another version with apricot instead raspberries, the irish flag (a country so dear to me).
