Biscotti

Preheat oven to 350F. Mix one cup of flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp baking powder, a pinch of salt plus option add ins (1/4 cup chopped nuts and 1/4 cup dried fruit is a great combo). Mix that up. Throw in an egg, 2 tbsp soft butter, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Mix dough and roll into a long cigar, about 12 inches long. Put onto your baking sheet and flatten the cigar a bit. Bake at 350F for 25 min. Take it out, carefully transfer loaf onto a cutting board and cut into diagonal 1/2 inch pieces with a serrated knife. Put the pieces back onto the baking sheet. Lower oven temp to 300F. Bake for 10 min. Turn pieces over, bake 10 more min. Pieces should be a tiny bit brown on each side when you're done.
