When sjkasabi and I were up at the Grampians a couple of weeks ago, there was a party of older women also staying at the YHA hostel. On their last night, one of them offered around some treats she’d baked, which hadn’t been eaten and which she didn’t want to carry home with her. She had baked a sort of fruit and nut slice flavoured with rosemary, and I thought it was amazing. I asked her for the recipe, but neither of us had pen and paper, so she just gave me a rough outline and I said I’d figure it out from there.
- 125g butter, cubed, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups plain white flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary, very finely chopped
Preheat oven to 180C. Grease and paper a slice tin.
Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs and mix through. Sift flour and baking powder into mixture and combine. Add remaining ingredients and mix through until evenly distributed.
Spread mix in slice pan. Bake at 180C for 20-25 mins.
