Italian Biscotti

Methods

• Preheat oven to 200º C.
• Take butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and mix with a whisk till light.
• Sieve refined flour into the bowl and whisk till no lumps form. Add baking powder, salt and cinnamon powder and whisk well.
• Add egg, orange juice and orange zest.
• Sieve cornflour into the bowl and knead into a dough. Add milk to bind it better.
• Gently divide the dough into 2 equal portions. Flatten and shape each half into a long rectangular, taking care that they do not break.
• Sprinkle pistachios and almonds both on top and the bottom of these rectangles. Place them on a greased baking tray keeping sufficient space between them.
• Keep the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, checking a few times to ensure they do not burn.
• Cool, slice and serve.
