- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Combine the cereal crumbs, flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together. Stir in lemon zest. Add the butter and stir to combine. Lightly beat the egg and egg white together and add to flour mixture. Stir in blueberries. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Divide the dough in half. On a parchment lined baking sheet, shape into 2 loaves, approximately 8 x 3 inches, flattening slightly. Brush top with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven and turn temperature down to 300 degrees. Let cool for 10 minutes. Cut each loaf into 3/4 inch diagonal slices. Turn on their sides and return to oven for 10 minutes. Remove and turn over and bake an additional 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely. Dip one side of each biscotti in melted white chocolate. Allow to sit to harden. Store in airtight container.
