For the biscuit , mix all dried ingredients together , then add butter cut into small cubes and rub the mixture all together to get crumbly .

Then add the egg and knead to obtain a soft dough. It may need some extra flour if necessary. 

Place the dough in fridge for 1 hour. 

Lay the dough out on the table with the help of some flour, cut into preferable sizes .
