Ingredients
100g butter, chopped and softened
3 eggs
2 tsp mixed peel
100g glace cherries, chopped
3/4 cup self raising flour
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 caster sugar
1/2 cup pistachio
1. Cream butter and sugar, add in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
2. Add in mixed peel and nutmeg, mix well.
3. Stir in flours and nuts, mix well.
4. Fold in the cherries.
5. Refriderate dough for 1 hour.
6. Pre heat oven to 180 degrees.
7. Take a greased/lined tray. Halve the dough and shape each halve into 1 inch high logs. (This is easier if you shape the logs directly onto the tray)
8. Bake for 20mins or until lightly brown and firm. Remove from oven and stand for 10mins.
9. Using a serated knife cut the logs into 1cm pieces wide. Place slices onto an oven tray.
10. Bake in a low oven (approx. 125 degrees) for 40mins, turning the slices every 10mins, or until dry and crisp.
