Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. To make the biscotti, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and ground cinnamon in a large bowl. Stir constantly, slowly adding the eggs until the mixture just comes together into a dough (you might not need all the egg). Mix in the hazelnuts and orange zest. Divide the mixture into two equal amounts and shape each piece into a log shape. Put on a lined baking sheet and flatten the top of each. Beat the egg yolk and milk together, glaze each log and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Reduce the oven temperature to 150C/ fan 130C/gas 2. Use a very sharp serrated knife to slice the biscotti logs diagonally at 1/2 cm intervals. Lay the biscotti out on lined baking sheets in a single layer and return to the oven for about 20 minutes, turning once, until dried out and golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
  3. Peel the tangerines. Put the remaining ingredients in a pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 2 minutes then add the tangerines and simmer for 5 minutes, turning the fruit occasionally. Remove the fruit with a slotted spoon and reduce the liquid for 5 minutes until syrupy. Pour over the tangerines and leave to cool. Serve with biscotti on the side.

Making ahead

The tangerines will keep for a couple of days - bring them to room temperature before serving. This recipe will make plenty of biscotti - store in an airtight box and they'll last for a couple of weeks.
