1. Spread the nuts on a baking tray and place under a
pre-heated grill, or in an ungreased frying pan. Heat until the skins split,
shaking the tray frequently. 2. Grind the nuts coarsely and set aside. 3. In a medium-size mixing bowl cream together the butter,
sugar and honey until fluffy. Add the sifted flour and the ground nuts. Mix
with a wooden spoon, and then press together with your hands to form a soft
dough. 4. With lightly-floured hands, shape teaspoonfuls of the
mixture into balls, then flatten slightly on a lightly oiled cooking tray
and form into an oval shape. Leave about 1 inch (5 cm) between the biscuits. 5. Bake in a pre-heated oven at Gas Mark 4 (180°C, 350°F)
for 10-15 minutes, until the biscuits are firm, and golden underneath. 6. Using a fish slice, or spatula, loosen the biscuits on the tray. Allow
to cool slightly, then carefully submerge the biscuit in a bowl of icing
sugar. Shake off the excess icing sugar, and place the biscuit on a wire
rack. |
