Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup macadamias
  • 1-2 tsp butter for greasing
  • ¾ cup caster sugar
  • 1 cup plain flour, sifted
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 125 g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1-2 tbsp icing sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180°C. Place the macadamias on a baking tray and bake for 7 minutes or until golden. Cool slightly before putting in a food processor and processing to a very coarse crumb. Set aside.
  • Increase the oven heat to 200°C. Lightly grease the indentations of two 12 capacity madeleine tins with butter. Combine the eggs and caster sugar in a bowl and using electric beaters, beat until pale and thick. Fold in the sifted flour and baking powder in three batches, gently stirring well between each addition and adding the macadamias and melted butter with the last batch. Stir gently to combine thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  • Spoon just over 1 tablespoon of mixture into each madeleine mould and bake for 10 minutes, until each cake has a small peak in the centre and feels spongey to touch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool and serve dusted with icing sugar.
