  • 1 cup plain flour
  • ¼ cup cornflour or rice flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, optional
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg

  2. Place the macadamia nuts, flour, sugar and ginger in a food processor and process to a fine powder.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla, then gradually pour in the milk in a thin stream with the motor running until mixture just starts to come together.
  4. Transfer to a floured board and knead gently to a smooth dough.
  5. Shape dough into bite-sized balls, place on baking tray and press gently with a fork, or shape into 2 x ¾ inch thick rounds. If making the rounds, mark into wedges, pinch the edges and pierce several times with a fork.
