      Title: Biscotti Di Regina (Queen's Biscuits)
 Categories: Ethnic, Bakery, Biscotti
      Yield: 72 Cookies
 
      1 c  Sugar
      1 tb Baking powder
    1/4 ts Salt
      1 c  Shortening
      2    Eggs; slightly beaten
    1/2 c  Milk
    1/4 lb Sesame seeds; ( 2/3 to 3 C)
 
  Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets.  Heat the oven to 375F. Sift together the
  flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Cut in the shortening
  with a pastry blender or two knives, until the pieces are the size of small
  peas.  Stir in the eggs and the milk (1 tablespoon at a time) to make a
  soft dough.  Mix together thoroughly. Break the dough into small pieces and
  roll each between the palms of your hands to form rolls about 1 1/2 inches
  in length.  Flatten the rolls slightly and roll them in the sesame seeds.
  
  Place about 3/4 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 12 to 15
  minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned.
