| 1. In a small bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, white pepper, ground cloves, cinnamon and ginger. | 2. Whisk sugar and eggs to a light lemon color; stir in extracts, orange zest and almonds. | 3. Sift dry ingredients over the egg mixture, then fold in until dough is just combined. | 4. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350ºF. | 5. Halve dough and turn each portion onto an oiled cookie sheet covered with parchment. | 6. Using floured hands, quickly stretch each portion of dough into a rough 13-by-2-inch log, placing them about 3 inches apart on the cookie sheet. | 7. Pat each dough shape to smooth it. | 8. Bake, turning pan once, until loaves are golden and just beginning to crack on top, about 35 minutes. | 9. Cool the loaves for 10 minutes; lower oven temperature to 325ºF. | 10. Cut each loaf diagonally into 3/8-inch slices with a serrated knife. | 11. Lay the slices about 1/2 inch apart on the cookie sheet, cut side up, and return them to the oven. | 12. Bake, turning over each cookie halfway through baking, until crisp and golden brown on both sides, about 15 minutes. | 13. Transfer biscotti to wire rack and cool completely. | 14. Biscotti can be stored in an airtight container for at least 1 month. | 15. Variations: Macerate (means to soak or steep) 3/4 cup currants, chopped raisins, or dates in 1/4 cup brandy or marsala for at least 1 hour. | 16. Drain and fold into the dough along with extracts, adding a teaspoon or so of the macerating liquid to the dough. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
