Christmas Cranberry & Raisin Biscotti

Preheat the oven to 160^oC, gas mark 3.

1. Place the flour, baking powder, mixed spice, butter and sugar in a food processor and blitz to look like breadcrumbs.
2. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the dried fruit and seeds.  Stir in the egg white to give a firm dough.  Roll out to a 18cm long sausage shape and place on a baking tray, bake for 30 minutes then allow to cool for 15 minutes.
3. Cut into 12 slices at an angle and place back onto the tray lined with baking paper, bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp.  Allow to cool completely.
