Honey Orange Biscotti

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	Flour
1/3 cup	65g / 2.3oz	Sugar
2 teaspoons	10ml	Baking powder
1 teaspoon	5ml	Dried grated orange rind
1/3 cup	20g / 0.7oz	Chopped pecans or currants - (optional)
1/4 cup	49g / 1.7oz	Fat-free egg substitute plus
2 tablespoons	30ml	Fat-free egg substitute
		(can use egg whites)
2 tablespoons	30ml	Honey
2 tablespoons	30ml	Frozen orange juice concentrate - thawed

Recipe Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and orange rind and stir to mix well. Add the pecans or currants if desired and stir to mix.

Add the remaining ingredients and stir just until the dough holds together.

2. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape into two 8 x 2 inch logs. (If the dough is too sticky to handle, knead in a little more flour.) Flatten out the logs a little bit or else the crust will split and crack. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and place the logs on the sheet. Bake at 350F for about 23 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer the logs to a wire rack and allow to cool for 10 minutes.

3. Place the logs on a cutting board and use a serrated knife to slice the logs diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place the slices on a baking sheet and bake at 300F for 20 minutes or until lightly browned, turning after 10 minutes.

4. Transfer the biscotti to wire racks and cool completely. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

NOTE: These are very easy to make and taste great. I made them without the pecans or currants, so there were even less fat and calories.
