How to Make Walnut Biscuits - Recipe

This Walnut Biscuit Recipe is easy to make and has a great flavor.

They are a great biscuit for morning or afternoon tea, Supper, Children' s lunch boxes, when you go on a picnic, an all round Biscuit.suitable for any occasion.

They will keep in an airtight container for about 10 days, but I guess that will depend on how much you like them.

They do have nuts in them, ( my personal opinion Children under five years of age should not have Nuts) but that is up to each individual.


if you prefer, you might like to try this Recipe with chopped Hazelnuts, (unsalted) Cashew Nuts, chopped Pecan Nuts or chopped Almonds, If you change the nuts it will give them a slightly different flavor, but the choice is yours. Which ever nuts you use they will still taste nice.

For the folks who have an allergy to nuts, you may want to try this recipe with finely chopped dried Apricots, Apples, Pears !

INGREDIENTS.

For these Walnut Biscuits you will need the following ingredients.

• 1 x cup Caster Sugar.
• 1 x Egg.
• 2 x cups Self Raising Flour.
• 2 x ounces finely chopped Walnuts.
• 2 x ounces Dark Chocolate chopped into small bits or Mini Chocolate Bits.
• 6 x ounces Butter, chopped into small pieces for easier mixing.
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Essence.
• 1/2 cup Desiccated Coconut.

If you wish (I have not tried it) you may like to try Milk Chocolate, in place of Dark Chocolate.

I feel that the Milk Chocolate would make the taste a lot sweeter!

Cream sugar and butter until light and fluffy, beat in Vanilla Essence, and Egg. beat well.
Beat in sifted flour, blending thoroughly.
Stir in Chocolate Bits, Coconut and Walnuts, mix well.

Roll into small balls about the size of a Walnut.

Place on greased oven tray, or oven tray lined with baking paper. ( I use the baking paper), allowing room to spread.

Bake for approx. 15- 17 minutes or until A light golden color,( not too dark as that will mean they are over cooked) in a moderate oven, around 190 degrees. I know each oven may very in temperature.

They will be a little soft when taken out of the oven, but will crisp up as they cool

If you wish when the Biscuits have cooled.

1) melt some dark chocolate and dip half the biscuit in to the chocolate and leave on the cooling rack to set.

2) drizzle the melted chocolate over the biscuit.

or

3) just eat them plain.
