Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Put the flour, cocoa, sugar, dark chocolate, baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt into a food processor. Pulse until pulverised. Add the eggs and vanilla and pulse until a dough forms. Tip the dough onto a counter dusted with flour and knead in the nuts. Divide into 4 and shape into 2.5cm wide x 30cm flat logs. Lift them onto a paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes. Cool.
  2. Use a serrated knife to diagonally cut the baked dough into 1.5cm pieces. Put on a baking sheet and cook for 15 minutes. Cool on a rack. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave or a glass bowl set over (not in) a small pan of simmering water and drizzle over the biscotti. Store for up to 10 days in an airtight container.

    There wasn't any indication as to how much baking powder should be used. Made them with 1tsp & they were OK, although I had to double the cooking time. Not the best biscotti we've had, but they all disappeared so I would make them again.
