1 box Duncan Hines Milk Chocolate Cake Mix
1 egg
ÃÂ¼ cup butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Form dough into one log that is 1 inch thick, 3 inches wide and 12 inches long. Place on parchment lined baking sheet. Place in the middle of a 375-degree for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer from baking sheet to wire rack and cool completing (about 15 minutes). Place log on cutting board. With a serrated knife, cut ÃÂ½-inch thick slices diagonally at 45-degree angle. Lay slices flat on parchment lined baking sheet and return to oven for 10 minutes, turning over once. Cool on wire rack. Store in tightly covered container.

Some of your fractions have turned out looking strange. Also, when you put it back in the oven, do you put it "cut" side down or just "cut" side facing each other? More pics would help this be clearer IMO.

So, what does "ÃÂ¼ cup butter" mean in this biscotti recipe?
