Definitely want to try this. In case there are others like me -- I had to look up caster sugar and found this:

Castor or caster sugar is the name of a very fine sugar in Britain, so named because the grains are small enough to fit though a sugar "caster" or sprinkler. It is sold as "superfine" sugar in the United States.


This look absolutely delicious, must try soon,

thanks

Holy moses that looks good.


This is a "must try" in my book. Looks amazing.


The picture sold me! Can't wait to try! I love macadamia nuts! Thx for sharing!


This is heaven to me .. Thank You


This sounds marvelous...I love macadamia nuts,too. I think I'll make it like the recipe says,then the second time I make it,I'm gonna add some white chocolate chips... ;o) What'cha think, stonesoup ?
btw,I love your username...:o)


So simple and looks stunning! Love the photograph.


This looks amazing and can not wait to try it.Is this like a biscotti?


Hi, I like this recipe because I often have egg whites and don't know what to do with them. However, I have a slight problem. We do not have macadamias in Greece. Can u suggest any other nuts? And caster sugar can this be substituted with white sugar?


Ivy-

Hi Ivy,

I wanted to let you know there is a place here in the United States who sells nuts. http://www.nuts4u.com/ They do send nuts out to any country. I send them to my sister in Ireland and my aunt who lives in UAE Saudi Arabia.

The best price is their Flat rate international. Still not cheap but for $37.00 US Dollars you can get 8 to 10 pounds of nuts shipped to you. Macadamias would be a reasonable nut to ship as they are light nut.

Caster sugar can be substituted, you can use white sugar.

Good Luck to you,

Birdy...


This is great and the picture is wonderful.


Kind of a supported meringue--and it sounds really good. Drool drool.


Sounds amazing! but can I sub powdered sugar for the caster sugar?


This looks so awesome. Can't wait to try. Thanks for a great post.

This was so delicious! Very unique as well. I am definitely adding this to my favourite recipes list. Gonna make a batch to bring to my Mom tomorrow too as I know she will jsut LOVE this! :)

I might experiment and try this same method w/ cashews. Mmmmm... so yummy!

Thanks so much sharing.


Great photography -


This certainly does sound wonderful! If someone tries this recipe with a different kind of nut please post and let us know how it turned out.

An approximation of Castor Sugar can be made at home by processing granulated sugar in the food processor for a minute or two. Let the dust settle before you take the top off.


O0o0h this looks yummy and simple


It looks like biscotti but it is not. this bread is getting famous in malaysia as festive cookies. did try amother similar recipe but it didn't turn out as i expected. anyway, i'll try this soon...


Hello what is maccadamia ?some kind of almond maybe?thanks ı will try if ı figure out what is maccadamia:)(sorry about that ı m from different country)


I heard on The Splendid Table podcast yesterday that people who eat 3 to 4 oz. of nuts 3 to 4 times a week live longer! That seemed like a large amount 9 to 16 oz. of nuts a week BUT a great reason to make this bread!
