Makes 12

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups self-raising flour
• 1 tbsp caster sugar
• 100g butter, chilled, finely chopped
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 2/3 cup finely chopped walnuts
• 1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp golden syrup

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan-forced. Grease a 3cm-deep, 19cm x 29cm (base) slice pan.
2. Combine flour and caster sugar in a bowl. Rub in half the butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Combine milk and egg in a jug, then stir into flour mixture until a soft, sticky dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 30 seconds or until smooth.
3. Roll out the dough into a 30cm x 40cm rectangle. Sprinkle with walnuts and almonds. Top with brown sugar and cinnamon. Dot with remaining butter.
4. Roll up dough tightly from one long side. Using a serrated knife, trim ends. Cut the roll into 12 slices. Place slices in prepared pan. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until golden. Serve scrolls warm with golden syrup.
