UGLY BUT GOOD BISCUITS

Makes 12

100 grams hazelnuts (most nuts probably just as good)
4 egg whites
120 grams castor sugar
vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 180 degrees
Dry roast whole nuts for a few minutes then remove skin & chop roughly.
(I only had ground hazelnuts and this worked just as well.)
Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Keep beating & slowly add the sugar until it's lovely, soft & glossy like meringue.
Stir in nuts & vanilla.
Transfer mixture to saucepan & cook, stirring often, over a low heat for 10 minutes. (The mixture will do all sorts of odd things, but keep going.)
Spoon mixture onto a lined baking tray & cook for about 30 minutes on 150 degrees.
Cool completely on wire racks before storing in an airtight container.
