Macadamia Shortbread


Making vegan friendly meals does not always mean having to find a recipe that specifies that it is vegan. It is quite simple to take a recipe and change dairy ingredients such as butter and milk to a dairy free alternative.

That is what I did with this macadamia shortbread recipe. It was on the pack of macadamia nuts and just needed a few changes. The result, super delicious and completely vegan!

Ingredients:

125g dairy free margarine
1 1/4 cups plain flour
1 1/2 tbsp rice flour
1/2 castor sugar (save a little for dusting)
1/2 cup finely chopped macadamia nuts

Method:

Combine margarine, flours and sugar in a processor and blend till a dough is formed
Remove from machine and lightly knead in the nuts
Press into a shallow lamington tray
Put in the fridge for an hour
Sprinkle with some castor sugar and bake at 180C for half an hour or until golden.
Cut into fingers while warm
