We were here for 3 days when the nut shells broke. I thought "Will this even make one muffin? I will have to cut the recipe drastically. So I decided to make mini muffins instead of the usual full sized ones. It was a good decision in two ways: I only had the two macadamia nuts and I only had mini muffin paper liners.
Tim Cracked the two nuts with a pair of pliars and extracted the nut meats.
I cut my recipe by one third and miraculously it produced 24 mini muffins,
It wasn't such a goofy idea after all. I'm not recommending making recommending making the recipe with only two nuts but it did work for us.
