#'''Measure. '''Crack the egg into a bowl and add the egg yolk - weigh them.  Tip into bowl of food processor and add double the weight of flour - better to be slightly under than over. Blitz until the dough resembles bread crumbs - or if it is slightly wetter it will begin to come together.

#'''Knead.''' Tip onto work surface and knead into a dough. The dough will be very stiff. Knead until smoother - most recipes say do this for 10 minutes but I never do.  Place wrapped in fridge to rest for at least ½ hour or even overnight.
