Orange Biscotti - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 ounces unsalted butter
3 1/2 ounces light muscovado sugar
1 egg
1 orange (rind and 2 tsp juice)
6 ounces self raising flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch cinnamon
2 ounces polenta

Preparation

Preheat the oven to gas 3/160\u00b0C/325\u00b0F.
Grease a baking sheet.
Beat together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat int the egg, then the orange rind, juice, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and polenta.
Tip the mixture on to a lightly floured surface and knead. Place dough on the baking sheet and flatten with the palm of your hand to make a rectangle approx 25 x 18 cm.
Bake for 25 minutes, then remove from the oven and leave to stand for 5 mins until slightly cooled. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the mixture widthways into thin sticks about 1 cm wide.
Space the cookies out slightly on the baking sheet, then bake for a further 20 minutes until crisp.
When cool, dust with icing sugar.
