Instructions
- Place walnuts on baking sheet and bake at 350°F [180°C] 5 to 7 minutes until fragrant and lightly toasted; set aside.
- In large bowl, cream butter and oil with sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until mixture is smooth and creamy. Add lemon rind and juice.
- In small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and ginger, stir into creamed mixture. Mix in walnuts. Cover and chill dough at least 4 hours.
- Divide dough into 3 portions. On lightly floured board, roll dough into logs about 1-1/2 inches [4 cm] in diameter and 10 inches [25 cm] long. Place the logs on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 325°F [160°C] 30 minutes or until golden and firm to the touch. Cool 10 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice logs diagonally about 1/2 inch [1 cm] thick. Place slices, cut side down, on baking sheet. Bake at 300°F [150°C] about 20 minutes or until light golden brown underneath. Cool on racks. Store in airtight container.
