Memorable Biscotti
|
 |
1 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon anise extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped almonds
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in
extracts. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture. Stir in
almonds. Line a baking sheet with foil and grease the foil. Divide dough in half.
On the foil, form dough into two 11-in. x 3-in. rectangles. Bake at 300° for
35 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven;
increase temperature to 325°. Using the foil, lift the rectangles onto wire
racks; cool completely. Place on a cutting board; cut diagonally with a serrated
knife into 3/4-in. slices. Place with cut side down on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 10 minutes. Turn over; bake 10 minutes longer. Cool completely on wire
racks. Store in an airtight container.
