Steps:
- Puree eggs and banana in a blender until smooth.
- Lightly oil a large nonstick skillet (see Tip) and heat over medium heat. Using 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake, drop 4 mounds of batter into the pan. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look dry, 2 to 4 minutes. Using a thin spatula, gently flip the pancakes and cook until browned on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer the pancakes to a plate. Lightly oil the pan again and repeat with the remaining batter.

Steps:
- Combine flour, sugar and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Cut butter or shortening into dry mixture until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Make a well in the flour mixture. With a fork, beat together eggs, vanilla, orange juice and orange extract until well blended. Pour mixture into flour well and knead 5 minutes until smooth. Divide dough into two parts. Into one part, add 10 drops of green food coloring. Add 10 drops of red food coloring to the other dough, mixing each well to blend in colors. Pinch off a piece of the green dough about the size of an egg. Roll out to 12 inches long, and about as thick as your finger. Repeat with both doughs until all is used up. Place one roll of red dough and one roll of green dough close together on a cookie sheet. Repeat with double rolls (1 red and 1 green) 2 inches apart. Dough will rise when it bakes. Bake at 325 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly. While still warm, pour glaze on and, if desired, finely chopped nuts. Cut into 1 inch slices.
- Glaze: Combine 3 cups confectionary sugar, 3 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier liquer, and 3 tablespoons boiling water.

SIMPLE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BISCOTTI
These are a perfect treat with a cup of coffee for breakfast, with tea in the afternoon or for a light dessert. Fancy enough for company but simple enough to make every day. Adding coffee granules enhances the flavor of the chocolate. I like to melt 1/4 cup white chips in a quart size freezer bag, cut off one tiny corner and drizzle the melted chips over the top of the biscotti once they have cooled completely.

- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line with parchment paper.
- Combine the flour, salt, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and coffee granules in a bowl. Set aside. Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla with the last egg. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Dived the dough in half and shape each into 8x2 inch flat rectangles about 1 inch thick. Place on the baking sheet 3 to 4 inches apart. Beat egg yolk with water in a small bowl. Brush over the top of each loaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven until both loaves are firm, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 to 12 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Cut each loaf diagonally into 3/4 inch slices. Place each slice, cut-side up onto the baking sheet. Return to the oven and bake until the biscotti are dry, 10 to 15 minutes on each side. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help the baking process go smoothly.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your biscotti will taste. Look for high-quality flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and flavorings.
- Measure your ingredients accurately: This is essential for getting the right texture and flavor in your biscotti. Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients for the most accurate results.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make your biscotti tough. Mix the dough until it just comes together, then stop.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough makes it easier to handle and helps the biscotti hold their shape.
- Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a slightly crunchy texture.
- Slice the biscotti while they are still warm: This will make them easier to slice and help them keep their shape.
- Store the biscotti in an airtight container: This will help them stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.
