Crunchy and decadent, Macadamia Biscuits are the perfect treat for any time of day. Combining the rich flavors of macadamia nuts with the creamy excellence of butter and the sweet touch of sugar, these biscuits will quickly become a favorite in your baked goods repertoire. Follow this straightforward recipe to create biscuits that are not only delicious but also sure to impress.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- Roughly chop the macadamia nuts into smaller pieces and keep them aside. This will add a delightful crunch to your biscuits.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the room-temperature butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes if you are using an electric mixer.
- Crack the egg into the bowl and add the vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined. The mixture might look a bit curdled at this point, but that’s okay.
- Sift the self-raising flour and ground cinnamon into the wet mixture. Stir everything together until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure tender biscuits.
- Gently fold in the chopped macadamia nuts. Make sure the nuts are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking tray. Leave some space between each portion as the biscuits will spread a bit while baking.
- Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown around the edges.
- Remove the tray from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the tray for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, enjoy your choc-macadamia biscuits with a cup of tea or coffee. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
Tips:
- For an extra crunch, lightly toast the macadamia nuts before incorporating them into the dough.
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth and consistent batter.
- To prevent spreading, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- If you prefer softer biscuits, reduce the baking time slightly.
- Feel free to add a handful of chocolate chips to the mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
Creating Macadamia Biscuits at home is a delightful and rewarding experience. With simple ingredients and straightforward steps, you can bake a batch of biscuits that are both luxurious and comforting. Enjoy them with a cup of tea or coffee, and share the joy of homemade treats with friends and family.
