Chocolate and macadamia honey wafers

Delicate, crisp and super more-ish, these wafers are perfect with a cuppa or served with vanilla ice-cream as a simple dessert. They are also delicious made with milk chocolate and pecans instead of the dark chocolate and macadamias.

Ingredients

• 75 g (½ cup) plain flour
• 110 g (½ cup) caster sugar
• 175 g (½ cup) honey, warmed slightly
• 100 g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 egg whites
• 100 g good-quality dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
• 100 g unsalted macadamias, coarsely chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 160°C. Line two large oven trays with non-stick baking paper.

Place the flour, sugar, honey, butter and egg whites in the bowl of a food processor and process until just combined.

Divide the mixture evenly between the lined baking trays and use the back of a spoon to spread the mixture evenly into two thin 25 cm x 30 cm rectangles. Sprinkle evenly with the chocolate and macadamias.

Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, swapping the trays after 20 minutes, or until dark golden and the centre is cooked. Remove from the oven and cool on the trays.

To serve, break into rough 5 cm pieces.
