Method

Mix together, either on the working surface or in a bowl, the flour, ground almonds, grated lemon rind, sugar and a pinch of salt. Cut the butter into large cubes and put into a well in the centre of the flour, together with the whole egg, egg yolks and rum.
Work everything together lightly until you have a homogeneous paste, but do not overwork. Collect
