Instructions
- Add the egg and sugar to a large bowl and beat well until you have a creamy texture and a pale-yellow colour.
- Sift in the flour, add the lemon zest, baking powder and almonds and mix to get a stick dough.
- Line a large rectangle baking tray with non-stick paper or kitchen foil, and shape the dough into a large sausage that is slightly flatten with your hands.
- Bake at 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) for 25 minutes until pale golden, then remove from the oven and leave it to cool for 5 minutes.
- Use a bread knife to cut the load across diagonally into biscuits of about 1 cm thickness.
- Arrange the biscotti back onto the tray, and bake for a further 10 minutes until golden brown - they will harden more then they cool down completely.

- The amount of ingredients listed can be adjusted depending on the number of servings you need, just click on the number next to SERVINGS.
- Don't leave the biscuit loaf to cool for longer than 5 minutes after the first baking, as it will harden too much and it will be hard to cut it without crumbling.
- Once they are out of the oven for the second time, the biscotti won't be perfectly crunchy, they will harden more when they cool down completely.
- I find that the no-fat dough is just perfect to achieve this texture, as butter can make them too crumbly - even if it does add to the flavour.
