Wattle shortbread

Dessert: serves 3-4. Total time: 1hour

¹

Cream the butter, sugar and wattleseed. Mix in remaining ingredients. Spread mixture into a baking tray, cover with greaseproof paper and press into a slice about 1cm ( ¹/2in) thick. Pattern top if desired. Bake in moderate oven for 30 minutes. Slice into "fingers" while still hot. Cool and store in an air-tight container.

As a variation, omit the wattleseed and replace the rice flour with the same quantity of roasted and milled kurrajong seeds.
