SEA SALT WATER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Place the flour, baking powder, butter and ½ tsp of the flaky salt in a food processor, then whizz for a minute until the butter is completely mixed with the flour. Add 4 tbsp water and pulse until the dough comes together. If it still feels dry, add 1 tsp more water and process until you have a soft but not sticky dough.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 50 x 25cm and as thin as possible. Brush a little water over the surface of the dough, scatter 1 tsp salt flakes over and press in lightly. Prick the dough all over with a fork, then cut into 18 squares. Place on the prepared trays - don't worry if they stretch a bit. Bake for 10-15 mins until the biscuits feel dry and sandy but are still pale - they may still feel soft but will harden up when cooling. Transfer to a wire rack and leave until completely cool. Will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Add the soft cheese, lemon juice and smoked salmon with some pepper and mix well. Add a little of the pasta water to help form a creamy sauce, and heat through. Add most of the chives, stir, and divide the pasta mixture between bowls. Serve with the remaining chives scattered on top.
• Serve 2 biscuits on each plate and a small portion of the salmon & chive bows, set aside. For the cranberry & pomegranate sauce, Tip all the ingredients into a pan and stir well to combine. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the cranberries start popping (about 5 mins for fresh cranberries or 8-10 mins for frozen) and turn into a runny sauce. Leave to cool before serving. Drizzle over biscuits and bows and serve.
