Ingredients

SERVES 12

  • 100g/4oz butter (cubed, plus extra for greasing)

  • 100g/4oz white chocolate (broken into pieces)

  • 100g/4oz caster sugar

  • 2 eggs (lightly beaten)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

  • 100g/4oz self-raising flour

  • 75g/3oz macadamia nuts (roughly chopped)

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4. Lightly grease a 20cm/8in square tin and line with baking parchment, leaving the paper hanging over on 2 opposite sides.

  2. Place the butter and white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Half fill a saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat.

  3. Place the bowl over the saucepan, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not sit in the water. Stir occasionally until the butter and chocolate have melted and are smooth.

  4. Add the caster sugar to the bowl and gradually stir in the eggs. Add the vanilla essence, fold in the flour and macadamia nuts, then pour into the prepared tin.

  5. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Leave to cool in the tin before lifting out and cutting into squares.
