Step 2:
-
Pre-heat oven
-
Preheat the oven to 180ºC or gas mark 4.
-
Step 3:
-
Blend the ingredients
-
Spoon the butter into the mixer bowl and turn it on to blend, slowly adding the icing sugar. Let it blend until the sugar has fully mixed in, then add the ground walnuts, and the flour, allowing each batch of flour to be fully combined before adding the next. Blend for 1 minute more and then turn off the mixer.

Step 4:
-
Shape the dough
-
Place a sheet of cling film onto a flat surface and lay the dough at the bottom part of the sheet. Shape and stretch the dough into a log-shape and move it back and forth to make a cylinder shape with the film wrapped around the log. Finally twist the ends of the cling film like you would a cracker. Repeat the process making another cylinder with the rest of the dough.

Step 5:
-
Chill
-
The dough needs to be chilled before you can cut it. Place your two logs into the fridge until cold.
-
Step 6:
-
Cut the roll
-
Remove the logs from the fridge and slice them in half. Take off the cling film and discard. Then cut into 1/2 centimetre rounds. Repeat with the rest until you have roughly 80 small biscuits.

Step 7:
-
Bake
-
Line the baking tray with wax paper and put the biscuits onto the tray, ensuring that there is enough space between each biscuit to expand during the cooking process. Then transfer them to the preheated oven. Bake for 10 minutes.

Step 8:
-
Serve
-
Allow the biscuits to cool before serving. Dust them generously with icing sugar and place them on a pretty plate to serve with a good quality tea or coffee.
