A great italian biscotti

Steps

Preheat oven to 350 degrees f.

Combine the eggs , extract , sugar and salt in a mixingbowl or the bowl of an electric mixer and whip with a hand mixer set at high speed or in a heavy duty mixer fitted with the whip.

Continue whipping until the mixture is very light and increased in volume , 6-7 minutes.

While the egg mixture is whipping , combine the flour , cornstarch and baking powder and stir to mix.

Remove the whipped eggs from the mixer and sift over the flour mixture in three additions , folding it in after each addition with a rubber spatula.

The batter will lose most of its air and become rather stiff.

Pipe the batter , using a pastry bag with a 3 / 4-inch opening , but no tube , onto a jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper or buttered wax paper.

Pipe two logs about 1 1 / 2 inches wide and the length ofthe pan.

Bake the logs about 20 minutes , until they are well risen and golden.

Remove from oven and place logs on a cutting board to cool about 10 minutes.
