Macadamia Nut Cookies

Preheat oven to 180℃ and line a few large baking trays with baking paper 

Add the butter and sugars to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix for 3-4 minutes until well combined and whipped. Whisk the eggs and vanilla extract together, then slowly add to the butter mixture until combined.   

Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix on low until you form a dough. Stir in the white chocolate and macadamias. Then gently fold in the raspberries, careful not to overmix so the raspberries melt and mix through the whole dough.  

Scoop out the dough into balls and place onto the prepared baking sheets, keeping cookies 5cm apart to allow for spreading. Place into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are browned.  

 Remove from the oven and allow to cool and set slightly before transferring to a wire rack.  

Fig, pistachio & sultana tarte tatin

Preheat the oven to 180. Heat a 12” cast-iron skillet or oven safe pan over medium heat. Add the butter and let melt. Add the figs and saute for a minute or two until beginning to soften. Add the brown sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugar has melted. Simmer the mixture for another minute or so to thicken.

Unfold the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Trim the edges to create roughly a 10″ circle. Lay the dough on top of the figs to complete cover them, tucking the sides in around the edges. Place the skillet into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until puffed and golden.

When the tarte tatin is almost finished baking, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and pistachios. Toast the pistachios for a few seconds. Add the honey and a good pinch of salt. Stir to combine. After another 30 seconds or so, turn off the heat.

Transfer the skillet out of the oven. Place a large plate over the skillet and carefully invert the tarte tatin onto the plate. Spoon the honeyed pistachios over top. Sprinkle with a little flaky sea salt. Cut into slices and serve warm, with a little extra honey drizzled over each slice.

Sultana & Date Scones

Preheat oven to 220°C (210°C fan-forced).
Line scone tray with non-stick baking paper. Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Add butter and rub in lightly with fingertips.
Add sugar, sultanas & dates and stir to combine. Make a well in the centre of the mixture. Add beaten egg and almost all of the milk. Mix quickly with a flat bladed knife to a soft dough, adding more milk if necessary. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth. Press or roll out to form a round about 2cm thick.
Cut dough into rounds using a floured plain 5cm cutter. Place scones together, without touching, on prepared tray and brush with extra milk. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
