Lemon or Lime and Macadamia Biscotti image

A lightly flavoured Biscotti with the crunch of macadamia nuts. These nuts are supposed to be very good for you so I tell myself I am eating healthy :) This recipe was one among my "Healthy Recipe Cards". I love these with a nice hot cup of coffee or tea.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups self raising flour
1 cup whole meal flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup caster sugar
3 eggs (lightly beaten)
2 lemons, juice and zest of (I prefer lemon) or 2 limes, juice and zest of (I prefer lemon)
1 cup roasted raw macadamia nuts (leave whole)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200'C.
  • Sift the flours, baking powder and sugar into a bowl and stir to mix well.
  • In a separate bowl combine the eggs, nuts, juice and rind of either the lemons or limes.
  • Add the egg mix to the dry ingredients and mix to form a stiff dough.
  • Turn out the dough onto a floured board and divide into two and shape into 2 logs.

  • Bake at 200'C for 15minutes.

  • Return to oven which has been turned down to 150'C and bake for 10mins or until firm and golden.
  • When cold store in an airtight container.
