Ingredients

125g Unsalted butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup water
3 1/2 cups Plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup icing sugar approx

FILLING

125G GROUND WALNUTS
125G ALMONDS, GROUND
1 TEASPOON NUTMEG
1 TEASPOON CINNAMON
3/4 CUP SUGAR
1/2 CUP WATER

METHOD

1. Combine filling Ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside.

2. Melt butter, add to oil, milk,water and baking powder and mix well.

3. Add the flour and mix with hands to form a dough that comes together and is soft but not sticky. Add more flour if necessary.

4. Roll out dough to 6mm / 1/4 inch thickness and cut into 5cm /2 inch circles. I use a cup or you can just use a cookie cutter.

5. Place spoonfuls of the filling in the centre of each circle and fold and press edges together.

6. Place on a baking tray that is lined with baking paper and cook in a pre heated moderate oven 180°C or 160 fan forced for 10 to 15 minutes. We don't want them brown. They will be a pale colour

7. Remove from tray and place on either new baking paper or waxed paper and sprinkle liberally with icing sugar ( sift icing sugar ) all over while biscuit is still hot.

Cool completely before storing in an airtight container..note these will keep for weeks if stored properly
