ITALIAN BISCOTTI..  it  was  not becoz i didnot  like  it its  bcoz  it costed  much ... hhahah   me and  my  mind  then  i  got  it bcoz  Rhea  wanted  it . The  moment i tasted  it  i  knew  i am  gonna bake this . i did not search  for the  recipes  immediately , but  first  thing i  did  was  i  finished  the  box and then when i was  out  of  it i  searched  for the  recipes . Last  15 days i was  down  with  severe  back  pain  so  was not allowed  into the  kitchen .So the  delay...
 Its  very  delicious  and  believe  me   you will  like  it for  sure . Here  is the  step wise recipe  ...

Ingredients :

  •  1 cup of almonds 
  • 2/3 cup of Sugar 
  • 2 large  eggs 
  • 1tsp of  baking powder
  • pinch of  salt 
  • Vanilla  extract 
  • almond  extract
  • 1 3/4 cup of  All purpose flour 
How  i did it :

Step 1 : Toasting  almonds
  •  Line the baking  tray  with the parchment  paper or  foil , Put ur  almond   in the   tray  either blanched or  with the skin . keep it in the  oven at  350 degree F  for  10 mins  or  till is  slightly  brown 
Step  2 : Biscotti 
  • In a  big  bowl  take the all purpose flour, salt and the  baking  powder mix well and  keep it aside ,
  • In another  bowl  break in  your  eggs  and  add the  sugar , and  beat  it  till it gets blended and  becomes  fluffy. Add in  your  vanilla and  almond  extract

  •  Now add in the the flour and  baking  powder and  mix  in well. add your almonds from the step 1.
  • Use hand  to mix  it  its   quite  sticky  but  if u cant  manage  it  add some  dry all purpose flour.
  • Line  the  baking  tray  with a  parchment paper  or  foil, spread the wet  mix in form a  long bread or  log 




  • Bake it  a preheated  oven  for 25 mins  at 350 degree F
  •  Take  it  out  cool  for  10 mins  and  with  the  knife  cut  ito 1/2 inch pieces 




  •  Places  these  cut  biscotti  on the  baking  tray  and   bake  it for the  second  time  at  300 degree  for  15 mins ,  nce  done   col them  off on cooling  rack .
