Christmas Nut Pies

125g Butter

1 cup Flour (or 1 cup Gluten Free Macadamia Flour Mix for GF option)

½ cup icing sugar

1 cup mixed macadamias, hazelnuts (skins removed), pecans and blanched almonds roughly

chopped so nuts are at least cut in half.

60g butter melted

1 egg

1 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Place the 125g butter, the flour and icing sugar in a food processor and run the machine until the

pastry clumps together in a ball around the blade. You could use pre made pastry if you like. Divide

into 16 balls or 32 smaller balls, with floured hands press the pastry into the bases and up the

sides of non stick (or well greased) mini muffin tins. Refrigerate for 30 minutes: the pastry will set

quite firm and you bake it cold like this.

Divide the nuts between the chilled pastry cases. Mix the melted butter, egg, brown sugar and

vanilla together until smooth and gluey then spoon or pour carefully over the nuts. Watch not to

overfill each little case.

Bake in a preheated oven to 180 degrees Celsius for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden

brown and the filling puffed and crisp. Take out of the oven and leave in the mini muffin tins for a

few minutes until they are cool enough to handle. Carefully lift them out to cool completely on a

wire rack. They are delicious served warm and can be reheated easily to serve with whipped or ice

cream.
