- 2 medium eggs
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
- ½ tsp baking soda
- Zest 1 orange
- ¼ cup toasted hazelnuts roughly chopped
- ⅔ cup chopped California Prunes
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175C) and line a large non-stick baking tray.
- Whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Sift the flour and baking soda into a bowl, then add the orange zest, hazelnuts, and California Prunes. Fold into the egg mix to make a soft dough.
- Tip onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a 10-inch (25cm) sausage shape with lightly floured hands.
