Recipe - Cranberry Walnut Biscotti (Vegan)

3 ounce Walnuts (or about ? cup)1 ?
cups powdered sugar
2 cup Flour (I use spelt flour;
whole grain)
One fourth cup Soy flour; defatted
1 teaspoon Baking powder
One fourth teaspoon Cinnamon
One fourth cup Craisins (dried; sweetened
cranberries)
One half teaspoon Salt
One fourth Orange (all white pith
removed), chopped fine ,
rind of
One half cup Egg replacement; flax seed
liquid*

These have become our latest favorite in our household. Although the recipe
calls for walnuts, skip them and use candied ginger instead, or dried
currants or raisins.

Mix ingredients together in mixer. (Don't over mix.)

Turn the gooey dough onto a baking pan (spray with pan release like a pan
release agent first). Using a spatula, shape into two logs, about 2.5 to 3
inches wide and 1012 inches long.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes (until dough loses its shine & is
browned a bit.) Remove logs to a cooling rack. Cool for 10 minutes. Slice
logs on a sharp diagonal, cutting about 1012 slices per log.

Place slices back on cookie sheet, laying cut side down. Bake 10 min. each
at 300 degrees (turning once during second baking).

Remove to rack and completely cool.

* 1 tablespoon flax seed + 3 tablespoons water (boiled, then seed removed)
= 1 egg replacement. You can also use 2 egg whites for each egg called for
in a recipe. This recipe originally called for 2 eggs (whole), plus 2 egg
whites, so the flax liquid required totals 8 tablespoons or ? cup (3 T. per
egg, plus 1 T. per white.)

variations: * replace the soy flour with cocoa, and replace the walnuts
with hazelnuts. * replace the walnuts with dried figs and/or currants (this
will reduce the total fat per serving too.) * use a mixture of flours
instead of wheat or speltsuch as rice flour, soy flour etc. * replace the
soy flour with cornmeal for extra crunchiness and replace the sugar with
1/3 cup maple syrup * a real zinger is to replace the walnuts with minced
candied ginger
