Biscotti

As promised here is the recipe which I used to make biscotti. It is a long process so extreme patience is needed. I prefer nuts in my biscuits but you can add raisins or dry blueberries, raspberries or just plain is just as good. These biscotti biscuits are so tasty, one is just too little. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup white sugar
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 3 eggs
• 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 cup pistachios sliced or almonds

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
2. Beat together sugar and oil in a medium bowl until well-blended. Add chopped nuts. Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl; stir into egg mixture to form a heavy dough.
3. Divide dough into two equal pieces. Form each piece into a log the length of a cookie sheet. Place one log on each of the prepared sheets; and press dough down to 1/2-inch thickness.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer logs to wire racks; let sit until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.
5. Slice each log crosswise into about eighteen 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place slices cut-sides up back on the cookie sheets.
6. Bake until lightly toasted and golden brown, 6 to 10 minutes per side.
