June 26, 2010: Neo-Aussie Biscuits

our American colleague's xi months at my workplace convey come upward to an end. But earlier he too his identify unit of measurement departed, nosotros were determined to plough over them a send-off to jibe the many memorable adventures they've had spell here. To this terminate our boss hosted an Aussie barbecue at his domicile alongside cricket too quizzes, damper too dearest joys. For my part, I tracked downward a re-create of the Australian board game Squatter to post domicile alongside them too baked these biscuits alongside native spices.

These were really much an experiment, inspired yesteryear the flavours of Nigella's java walnut splodges too making the icing upward every bit I went along, these didn't jibe my vision but were really pleasant nonetheless. The biscuits were very, really some what I was afterward but could convey done alongside to a greater extent than wattleseed.  The icing, however, was also sparse too ended upward soaking into the biscuits.  It never quite attained intensity of tartness that I sought to counteract the sugar.  I involve to last to a greater extent than on infusing the liquid alongside that lemon myrtle.

Have whatsoever of yous tinkered alongside Australia's native foods inwards your ain kitchen?  I'd love to know what you've tried, too how it worked out.


Neo-Aussie biscuits

biscuit dough
250g manifestly flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
200g unsalted butter, softened
75g castor sugar
60g chocolate-brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons dry reason wattleseed (I'll drive 2 tablespoons adjacent time)
2 large eggs, beaten
150g walnuts, roughly chopped

icing
2 tablespoons boiling water
2 teaspoons dry reason lemon myrtle
1 tablespoon butter
1 loving cup icing sugar


Preheat the oven to 180°C.

In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking pulverization too salt.  In a larger bowl, cream together the butter too sugars. Gradually mix inwards the wattleseed too and thus the eggs. Stir inwards the flour mixture too the walnuts yesteryear paw until simply combined.

Line a baking tray (or two, if you convey them) alongside newspaper too drib generous teaspoons of the dough onto them.  Bake for nearly 12 minutes, until they've simply developed a theater crust. Let them cool on the tray for five minutes earlier transferring them to a rack.

When the biscuits convey cooled, laid upward the icing.  Pour the boiling H2O over the lemon myrtle inwards a loving cup too permit it to steep for a few minutes. Strain the H2O into a modest saucepan. Add the butter too melt them together. Remove the mixture from the rut too sift over the icing sugar. Whisk the icing until polish too dip the elevation of each biscuit into the icing, inwards turn, earlier returning them to the rack.  Allow the icing to laid earlier serving.
