Lemon and White Chocolate Biscotti Recipe

HELLO DARLINGS!

These amazing, crunchy biscuits date back to 13th century Italy. Mine have a little twist to the original twice baked biscuit.


So, the ingredients you will need are:
250g of plain flour
250g of sugar
1/2 tsp of baking powder
2-3 medium eggs, beaten
Zest of one lemon
200g of white chocolate


Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 140 degrees celsius for a fan assisted oven (160 for non-fan assisted).

2. Combine the flour, sugar and baking powder in a bowl.




3. Gradually, add in the beaten eggs until you have a firm dough, it should not be sticky. Now add the lemon zest.




4. Now carefully knead the dough on a floured surface and then spilt into 2 halves. Roll each piece into a long log and bake for for 30-35 minutes.




5. Once out of the oven leave to cool, on the tray, for 10 minutes.




6. Now, cut the logs diagonally into biscotti.




7. Put the pieces on a baking tray, cut side up and bake for a further 20-30 minutes.




8. After the second bake, leave the biscotti until completely cool.

9. Melt the white chocolate in a bain marie and dip the biscotti in, covering one half in white chocolate. Put the biscotti in the fridge until the chocolate is set.



10. Enjoy!
