Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 175g / 5.5 oz butter, unsalted, softened ((11 US tbsp))
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup white sugar (, caster/superfine best)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 egg yolks ((Note 6 for using leftover whites))
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract/essence
  • 1 1/2 cups flour (, plain/all purpose)
  • 1/2 cup rice flour (sub with plain) ((Note 1))
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 100g / 3.5 oz macadamias (, roughly chopped (Note 2))
  • 125g / 4 oz white eating chocolate (, chopped into pretty small pieces (not baking chocolate, Note 3))

Instruction

  • Beat butter, sugar and salt on medium (speed 5) using a hand held mixer for 1 minute until smooth.
  • Add egg yolks and vanilla, beat for 1 minute or until smooth.
  • Add baking powder, rice flour and half the plain flour. Beat with mixer on medium speed until flour is incorporated.
  • Add remaining flour and beat with mixer until flour is incorporated. Add macadamia nuts and chocolate, then mix through with a wooden spoon (dough gets a bit too hard to use mixer).
  • Scrape mixture onto a work surface, press together and shape into a 22cm/9" log.
  • Roll up in baking paper or cling wrap, twist ends then refrigerate for 2 hours.
