- 300 grams plain flour
- 100 grams caster sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 125 grams unsalted butter, diced
- 2 pieces eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 pieces orange, grated zest

Directions
Combine flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. Rub in butter, then stir in hazelnuts and orange zest. Stir in eggs and bring together as a dough. Knead gently for 1-2 minutes.
Divide into 2 pieces and form each into a log about 30cm long. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment and gently press down with your hand until about 1.5cm thick.
Bake 30 minutes at 180C then cool for 15 minutes.
Using a serrated knife, cut at 45° angle into 1cm thick slices. Place these cut side down on baking tray and return to oven for 10 minutes. Turn over and bake for a final 10 minutes, until dry and crunchy.
