MMMMM-------------------------EQUIPMENT------------------------------
1 md Mixing bowl
1 lg Mixing bowl
2 (to 3) baking sheets
1 Wooden cutting board
* you may substitute another flavour such as orange or
rum
Set oven @ 350°F/175°C.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil,
sugar, vanilla, orange zest and nuts.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking
powder, salt and cocoa powder.
Gradually mix the flour mixture into the bowl with the
eggs and using a fork, incorporate the flour until you
have a dough. The consistency should be sticky and oily.
Form the dough into two loaves, about 2" wide x 1" thick.
Place on greased baking sheets and bake loaves about 20
minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes
out clean.
Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Place a loaf on the wooden cutting board and using a very
sharp knife, slice across the log diagonally making 1/2"
wide biscuits.
Cut the loaf as you would slice a long loaf of French or
Italian bread.
Return the biscuits to the baking sheet, laying them flat.
Bake again for about 15 minutes per side, or until they're
lightly toasted. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Place chocolate into either a double boiler or in a
microwave safe bowl to melt, being careful not to over
cook it. If the melted chocolate becomes too thick &
unmanagable, stir in a little butter, a teaspoon at a
time, until it's creamy again.
Place biscuits on wax paper and using a spoon, drizzle
them with glaze or melted chocolate in a zig-zag pattern.
