- Add baking powder and flour and mix until well blended. Stir in dry fruits.
- Pour the dough into one long log or 2 smaller logs into the prepared baking tray. The logs should be about 2 inches (5cm) wide. The dough is pretty sticky so you can wet your spatula or use flour to be able to give them the right shape.
