Pecan Thins

Ingredients

• 450g softened butter
• 300g caster sugar
• 500g self raising flour
• rind of 1 orange
• 2 large eggs
• 175g roughly chopped pecans

Directions

1. Combine butter, sugar, flour rind and eggs and mix until smooth. Stir through pecans.
2. Divide mixture into three portions and roll each portion into a log with a 5cm diameter and wrap the logs in baking paper. Twist the ends to seal and then cover in plastic wrap. Surplus can be frozen and defrosted in the fridge at a later stage.
3. Slice the chilled dough into 2-3mm slices and bake at a 180 degree oven for 10 minutes. Allow biscuits to cool before transferring to a wire rack.
