It's gray and drizzly outside.
I was going to work in the garden, but as soon as I stepped outside my hair went "poing!". Seriously, it made that sound. Now, I know that is no excuse for not gardening, but my kitchen was calling my name.
Here's what I ended up making today :)
This recipe makes about a ten 8x1 inch Biscotti.
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp Canola Oil
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp fresh ground ginger (unless you have dry, then go ahead and use that instead)
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp cardamom
- 1/2 tsp cloves
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup of anything.
Chocolate chips
Nuts
Raisins
Whatever.
Method:
*Preheat oven to 350
1. Mix the wet ingredients- eggs, oil, vanilla, and ginger. If you only have dry ground ginger, mix that with the dry ingredients.
2. Sift the dry ingredients together- flour, sugar, baking powder and spices. This way you'll have a nice, fine mix and no clumps. You may have to break up the brown sugar for it to go through the sifter.
3. Add the wet to the dry...
... and mix thoroughly.
Mmm smell it! So good!!!
4. I couldn't help it. Add a handful (1/4 cup) of chocolate chips or any kind of nuts you want- I'd suggest almonds or hazelnuts.
5. Spread out in the shape of a rectangle on a baking sheet. Use parchment paper, foil, or even just spray it with Pam.
Bake for 20-25mins.
6. While baking, be productive and do your dishes...
7. Take the dough out and cut it into 1 inch wide strands with a long sharp knife.
8. Flip them on their sides and bake for another 10 mins.
9. Eat fresh! And enjoy with a glass of milk, spot o' tea, or mug of coffee... mmm!!!
