How to Make Mandelbrot
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs and ¾ cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer on high speed for 4 minutes, or until thick and foamy.
- Add ½ cup vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest (or 1 teaspoon cinnamon).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half.
- Transfer each half to the prepared baking sheet and shape into two 10 x 4-inch logs.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and reduce the oven temperature to 275°F (135°C).
- Let the logs cool slightly on the baking sheet (about 10 minutes).
- Using a serrated knife, slice the logs into ½-inch thick slices.
- Arrange the slices, cut-side up, back on the baking sheet.
- Bake for another 20-22 minutes, or until crisp and lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar (optional).
