Wattleseed and Macadamia Biscuits Recipe
Ingredients:
- 100g butter
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground wattleseed (from Wasteless Pantry)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (from Wasteless Pantry)
- 1/3 cup chopped macadamia nuts (from Wasteless Pantry)
- 2 cups plain flour
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 220°C (425°F). Prepare a baking tray by lining it with reusable baking paper. -
Melt the Wet Ingredients
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 100g of butter, 2 tablespoons of golden syrup, 4 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground wattleseed. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth, which should take about 3-5 minutes. -
Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/3 cup chopped macadamia nuts, and 2 cups plain flour. Once mixed, pour in the melted butter mixture and stir until all the ingredients are well combined. If the dough is too dry, add a small amount of water, just enough to make the mixture crumbly but still hold together. -
Form the Biscuits
Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on the prepared baking tray. Flatten each ball slightly with your hand or a fork to create biscuit shapes. -
Bake the Biscuits
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the biscuits are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These wattleseed and macadamia biscuits are wonderfully crunchy with a nutty, earthy flavor that the whole family will love. They’re perfect for school lunchboxes, tea-time treats, or even as a homemade gift.
