A simple, no-frills biscotti recipe. My mother gave this recipe to me. It’s easy, quick, easy, and one of my preferred Italian cookie recipes.

Directions
This is positively the best biscotti recipe I’ve found to date...crispy, crunchy, mildly sweet flavor...not at all like the tooth-breaking store-bought biscotti. You can flavor it as desired - add some orange zest, almond extract; it’s a blank canvas.
Melt butter in a small skillet or glass measuring cup in a microwave. Add the milk and combine.
In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar together until foamy.
Add butter/milk mixture to eggs and sugar mixture.
Add vanilla and yellow food coloring, if desired.
Whisk together flour and baking powder in a small bowl. Add to other ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Oil your hands and shape dough into 6 loaf-shaped rows on 2 cookie sheets.
Bake at 350℉ (180℃) for 15 minutes.
Remove and slice into pieces about ¾ inch thick.
Bake a few minutes longer at 450℉ (230℃).
