Preheat the oven to 160 deg C. Chop the Apricots and sultanas,not very fine.
Mix the flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl with a whisk.
Add the eggs, vanilla, lemon rind and the dried fruit and nuts and mix until you form a dough.
Turn the dough out unto your work platform and use your hands and some flour to knead the dough. The dough will be sticky and unmanageable.
Form the dough into two logs on a greased and lined baking sheet. You have to take the help of dry flour to make the logs as it will be very sticky. Or you can bake the dough in 2 mini, greased loaf pans.
Flatten the logs a little and bake them for 30-35 mins or till firm.
Cool the logs for 15 mins and slice them thinly and diagonally with a serrated knife.
Place the pieces back on the baking tray and this time bake them in an increased temperature of 180 deg C for nearly 10 minutes or until crisp. Make sure to preheat the oven before baking the second time.
