Almond and Orange Biscotti

Simple to make and great to eat with coffee or even a glass of sweet wine. These have been known to be snacks in the middle of the night.

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 190 C or 375 F.
   Line tray with baking paper (preferably silicone paper).
   Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and orange rind onto flat surface.
   Make a well in the middle and add eggs and vanilla.
   Bring ingredients together to form a dough.
   Add chopped nuts and knead to incorporate.
   Divide dough into three.
   Roll each into a long sausage shape, place on tray and bake for 20 minutes.
   Cool on wire racks.
   Cut on diagonal, no more than 1cm thickness. (I prefer them thinner).
   Lay in a single layer on baking trays and bake, maybe on a little lower temperature - 180C or 350F- until lightly browned.
   Leave to cool, then store in airtight jars.
