PECAN CRANBERRY BISCUITS

INGREDIENTS

½ cup honey
50g butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
2 cups ground almonds (almond meal)
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup chopped pecans, plus 24 whole pecans
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda icing sugar, for dusting

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Line three oven trays with baking paper.
2. In a jug, combine honey, butter and egg.
3. In a large bowl, mix together ground almonds, cranberries, chopped pecans and soda.
4. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients. Add honey mixture, stirring until well combined.
5. Roll tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls and arrange on trays, allowing room for spreading. Press a whole pecan onto each biscuit, flattening the mounds slightly.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden. Cool on trays then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve dusted with icing sugar.
