Gluten Free Dairy Free Lemon Basil Biscotti
I used Better Batter Flour blend for the recipe which includes xanthan gum -- if you use another flour blend, check to see if it includes the gum as a binder -- otherwise, add 1/2 TSP xanthan gum to the dry ingredients.

Step 8
Arrange <a href="/3JDX2Q84">slices </a>in a single layer on the second <a href="/RNT367Z2">baking </a>sheet and <a href="/RNT367Z2">bake </a>for 30-35 minutes (or until crisp and golden b<a href="/D434P8MH">rown o</a>n both sides), t<a href="/B52FHCF2">urning o</a>nce during b<a href="/RNT367Z2">aking.</a>
