Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In a bowl, whisk together 250 g all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp quandong spice blend.
- Step 2: In a separate large mixing bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 150 g caster sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until pale and fluffy.
- Step 3: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, folding gently to combine. Stir in 50 g melted unsalted butter and 100 g toasted macadamia nuts until evenly incorporated.
- Step 4: Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 30 cm long and 5 cm wide on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Step 5: Bake logs for 30 minutes until golden and firm to the touch. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Step 6: Using a serrated knife, slice logs diagonally into 1 cm thick biscotti. Arrange slices cut side down on the baking sheet.
- Step 7: Bake for an additional 12 minutes, flip biscotti, and bake 10 more minutes until dry and crisp. Cool completely before serving.
