Gingerbread Biscotti
310g plain flour (2 1/2 cups)
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
3/4 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp black pepper
85g butter, softened (6 TBS)
200g soft light brown sugar (1 cup) (I use muscovado which has a high molasses content)
2 large free range eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 TBS molasses
1 – 2 TBS confectioners sugar to dust
Sift together the flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves and black pepper. Set aside.
Cream together the butter and brown sugar with an electric whisk until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the vanilla and molasses. Stir in the flour mixture to make a stiff dough, mixing all together well.
Using lightly floured hands divide the dough into halves and shape each half into a 12 inches by 2 inches log on each baking sheet. Dust generously with icing sugar.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Remove from the baking sheets to a cutting board and cut across into 3/4 inch slices. Place the slices, cut side down, onto the baking sheets and bake for a further 10 minutes or so until crisp. Cool completely on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container for up to 1 week. They can also be frozen for about a month.
Optional: Glaze and decorate with a simple white icing glaze and some white non-pareils. Simply whisk together 260g icing sugar (2 cups) with a few drops vanilla and just enough milk to give you a smooth drizzle. Dip the upper edges into the icing and then into the non-pareils. Let sit until the icing has set and dried completely before storing.
