Ingredients

  • 115 g butter chopped
  • 225 g plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • 60 g caster sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoon crushed macadamias toasted

Instructions

  • Place the butter, flour, baking powder and salt in a food processor and process until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Add the sugar and blitz again then add the egg, vanilla and lemon zest and process until it forms a dough.
  • Take it out of the mixer and roll out on a lightly-floured surface until it is 1cm thick and a rectangular shape.
  • Sprinkle the crushed macadamias over the top and then roll it up from a long side to form a log.
  • Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes (optional - I didn't and they were perfect but if it's really hot you probably want to do this step).
  • Pre-heat the oven to 170C fan-forced and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Slice the dough up into 1cm slices and place on the baking tray leaving 2cm between each one.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes or until they start to turn golden.
