Biscotti! Italian cookies. Hard work as you have to bake twice and the most tefious work is, you have to slice thinly. Slice it too thin, you will break it so you got to be careful in slicing it.
I came across some biscotti just only needed egg white and some with the whole eggs in it. You can make to compare which one suits you the best! Mine is like this.....
Ingredients
980g cake flour
650g sugar
9 eggs
1 kg whole almonds
2 tsp baking powder
1. Prebake the almonds at 130C for 20 minutes.
2. Mix flour, sugar and baking powder.
3. Add in beaten eggs
4. Mix well and add whole almonds.
5. Dip hand into flour mixture and knead dough portion by portion.
6. Knead into log shape (depends on tray size, but usually 3cm thick).
7. Glaze dough with egg white.
8. Bake at 150C for 35 minutes. Let cool for overnight.
9. Next day, slice the log thinly, place on tray and bake for 10 minutes at 150C.

Hi Mel, salute to you ... the biscotti are so thinly & nicely sliced ! But the quantity for this recipe is huge ... hmm may be good if I'm making some as gifts during Christmas .. thanks for sharing ^-^!
ReplyDeleteYes I know, and I usually made half of the recipe. I got this recipe from a newspaper cut out. The only thing is slicing to this thin slice is really hard. You need to sharpen up your knife first!
