Recipe

1. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Stir together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, salt and chopped herbs, then add butter and stir with a fork until mixture forms a dough. Divide dough in half and pat each half into a 6 1/2 - 7 round on an ungreased baking sheet. Crimp edges of rounds and cut into 8 wedges with a sharp knife. Lightly brush with egg white and arrange 1 leaf of each herb on each wedge. Brush herbs lightly with egg white and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Prick each wedge once with a fork.

3. Bake until golden brown, 15-17 minutes. Recut wedges while hot, then cool completely on sheet on rack.
