Here's what you'll need:

Optional: 1 cup desired stir-in

Start by creaming melted butter and sugar together. Next, add eggs and extracts. Then, gradually stir in sifted dry ingredients, and optional stir-in. Last, using floured hands, form two logs of batter on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 300 for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool, slice with a serrated knife, and bake sliced biscotti until crisp. Store in an air-tight container.

I love biscotti, Cecilia, but have only had store bought. I pinned this, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried baking biscotti; this recipe may just be the encouragement I need. I love the ones that have the bottoms dipped in chocolate with a cuppa! My SO doesn't like nuts in things; I may make a batch for just me!!!
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell them! Yum! I consider myself a baker but I've never made these. Great inspiraiton. xo Kathleen
