Methods/steps

Sift the flour and Ras el Hanout into a bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the grated cheese and both types of seeds.

Lightly whisk the egg yolk and stir into the dry mixture to make a firm dough that will hold together. Add a small amount of cold water if necessary.

Wrap the dough in plastic film and chill for about ½ hour.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to desired biscuit thickness (about 3mm). Cut into shapes, place on the prepared baking sheet and chill again for 15 minutes.
