3. Add egg yolk and iced water; process until mixture begins to form a ball.
4. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly until smooth. Divide pastry into 6 even pieces and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
5. Roll each piece of pastry out on a floured surface until 3mm thick. Brush each piece with beaten egg and sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon of demerara sugar.
6. Turn pastry over and place onto prepared trays and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of almond meal in the centre of each piece.
