Getting ready for Christmas - Cashew & Orange Biscotti

These fabulous Biscotti taste gorgeous, the hint of orange is sublime, and are very simple to make... I made these, this afternoon, between making Christmas cards and ordering some presents on-line
You can use pistachio nuts too, instead of the cashews, and next time I'm experimenting with brazils and almonds....Mmmmm!

175g (6oz) plain flour
1x5ml sp (1tsp) baking powder
125g (4oz) caster sugar
finely grated zest of an orange
2 medium eggs (beaten)
75g (3oz) unsalted, unroasted cashew nuts - try pistachios, or almonds too.

Oven: pre heat to 180 C ( 160 C fan), gas mark 4
Use a large oven sheet and baking parchment or greaseproof paper

Sift the flour and the baking powder into a bowl ( or food processor); add the sugar and the orange zest.
Mix well. Add egg a bit at a time until a stiff dough forms (I added all the egg, and made quite a sticky dough, so had to add a handful more of flour..no detriment!)
Add the nuts and combine well into the dough.
On a floured surface, divide and roll into 2 thick sausages - approx 5cm ( 2 inches) wide by 20cm (8 inches).
Place on the prepared baking tray. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes until puffed up and golden.
Remove on to a cooling rack; turn the oven down to 140 C (120 C fan) gas mark 1.
After 10 mins, cut into 1cm (1/2 inch) slices and replace laid flat onto prepared baking tray.
Bake for 20 minutes until golden ( I actually turned the oven off, and allowed them to semi cool in the oven)
Makes approx 20.
Store in an airtight container.....I may give these as presents, if they last!
