Ingredients

400 g self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup white sugar
1 cup oil
4 eggs
the juice of 2 lemons
Powdered sugar
Pure vanilla extract

Steps

Whip the eggs until very thick. Add sugar, oil, vanilla, baking powder, and lemon juice, and stir until combined.
Slowly fold in flour with a wooden spoon, continually adding until you have a very thick batter (you may need more or less flour).
On a large flat surface, such as a cutting board or plate, sift the powdered sugar.
Using a teaspoon, scoop walnut-sized balls of batter onto the powdered sugar, and roll each into an oval.
Transfer cookies to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, and cover with a single layer of parchment.
Place pans into an oven preheated to 200°C (392°F).
Bake for 5–15 minutes, until biscotti begin to turn golden.
Cool completely.
