Ingredients
- 250g (9 oz) plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 250g (9 oz) caster sugar
- 3 medium free-range eggs, beaten
- 200g (7 oz) chopped hazelnuts
- 1 large orange, finely grated zest only
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 300° and line a large baking tray with baking parchment.
-
Mix together the flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl and add the eggs slowly to make a dough. Mix in the hazelnuts and orange zest.
-
On a lightly floured surface, knead the mixture gently and divide into 2. Roll into logs, each approximately 25cm (10in) long. Place on the lined baking tray and bake for 25 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven, leave to cool slightly, then cut each log into 1½-2cm (⅝-¾ in) thick slices. Lay the slices on the baking tray.
-
Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, turn over and continue to bake for another 5-7 minutes until golden-brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
