Sweet Macadamia PastryNot only does substituting some of the butter in your pastry with macadamia meal add a richness of flavour and unique nutty, 'melt-in-your-mouth' texture, it is also much healthier -- a bonus for today's health conscious diners!
Makes 48 tartlets, 2 x 22cm pies or 4 flans.
- 400g plain flour
- 30g tablespoons icing sugar
- 175g self raising flour
- 100g butter or margarine
- 50g tablespoons cornflour
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 270g Premium Fine Macadamia Granule (Style 8)
- 80ml cup iced water, approximately
Combine flours, macadamias and sugar in a bowl or food processor. Rub in (or process) butter until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add egg and enough water to make mixture just come together. Knead quickly and lightly until smooth, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until required. Use as you would shortcrust pastry.
