Ingredients
- 250 g plain flour sifted
- 2 tbsp cocoa
- 175 g caster sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3 eggs lightly beaten
- rind of 1 orange grated
- 150 g unsalted macadamia nuts roasted, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Combine flour, cocoa, caster sugar and baking powder in a large bowl and mix well. In a separate bowl combine eggs, orange rind and macadamias and mix well. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, pour in the egg mixture and stir to form a dough.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide in half. Shape halves into logs, place on a greased and floured baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and when cool enough to handle cut logs into 0.5cm thick slices. Place slices on baking sheets and bake a further 10 – 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack then store in an air tight container.
