Biscotti are biscuits gone Italian!OK, let's say you've got the urge to bake, something easy, not too complex....how about biscotti! These treats are quick and easy to make and can be enjoyed with coffee or tea or just by themselves. Your friends and family will think that you're a regular gourmand when you serve this home made treat. As always, you start with a few simple ingredients...
This is a basic Italian style biscotti recipe from the 'King Arthurs Cookie Cookbook'. Once you have the steps down, and an hour to spare, you can vary the flavor in dozens of ways. Start by mixing 2 eggs, 2/3 cup sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp.salt & 1/2 tsp. baking powder.
biscotti and more recipes are in The King Arthur Cookie Cookbook After 25 minutes, remove from the oven and let cool for 10-20 minutes. Then cut the loaf into 12-15 pieces, separate them, and put the pan back in the oven for 25 minutes at 325 degrees. The last step is to remove your treats from the oven and let them cool on a rack.
Now you have something to look forward to tomorrow with that first hot cup of coffee, satisfaction guaranteed!..... by the way, my son recently made these at his apartment in Florida, and he got rave reviews, so get busy and make your own from scratch!
