These are the perfect, easy to make biscuit for drinks, picnics and lunchbox snacks. Don’t be afraid to experiment by adding your own favourite flavourings to the nutty dough. Add a sprinkle of sea salt for something simple, or if you’re feeling more adventurous, try these delicious chilli or fennel & cranberry versions.
Ingredients
Biscuit dough
- 1 cup raw macadamias
- 240 g sharp cheddar cheese cut into pieces
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup plain flour
Chilli flavour
- 2 tsp dried red chilli flakes
Fennel & cranberry flavour
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 tbsp cranberries chopped
Instructions
- Place macadamias in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. They can still retain some texture. Add cheese, egg and flour and process until the mixture forms a ball.
- Remove from the bowl and sprinkle with your choice of flavouring. Gently knead to incorporate the flavouring and roll dough into a 4cm diameter cylinder. Wrap in baking paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Using a sharp knife, slice the dough into discs just less than 1cm thick. Place the discs 3cm apart, on a large baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until biscuits are golden on the edges and underneath. Using a metal spatula, remove each biscuit and place on a wire rack to cool before serving.
Notes
Biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
