3. 3

   Add the flour and salt to the bowl and mix until a dough forms.

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently until it comes together.

7. 7

   Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1cm (0.4in) and use a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out shapes.

   Place the shapes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
