Dutch biscotti

Biscottis are supposed to be dunked into a cup of dark coffee or tea that hasnt been sweetened. They will then soften up before you eat it and it'll make your plain drink sweet with a little infusion of its spices. Cool huh?

Remember those biscotti you eat in Starbucks? Well..now you can make your own!!! Here's how:

• 2 eggs
• 300 g of flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder (not soda)
  
• 150 g of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder or mixed spices
• 2 teaspoon of water
• 1 cup of raisins
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla essense
  

• whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla essense together
• put in the flour that has already been mixed with baking powder and the spices
• then work with it on a lightly floured top until they are smooth
• form a log and place on a baking tray
• bake (180 normal oven / 160 if fan forced oven) until lightly brown
• then take out from the oven and cool for 10 C
• cut diagonally with 1 cm thick (or whatever you like as long as its not too thick)
• then place in the baking tray on its side
  
• bake (150 normal oven / 125 if fan forced oven) for 30 minutes or till dry and browned
  
• turn the biscotti half way through to dry both sides
