Almond biscotti. I recently tried this biscotti recipe and told myself that I must share it! This is from my favorite magazine, Saveur. ENJOY!!!
== Ingredients ==
* 3 eggs
* 1 cup confectioners' sugar
* 1 cup flour
* 1 tablespoon ground aniseed
* 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
* 1¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
* ½ lemon, zest of
* 1¼ cups toasted almonds
== Directions ==
# First, preheat your oven to 375°F.
# Secondly, take a baking sheet, and line it with parchment paper and set it aside.
# Then, take a small bowl and beat 1 egg in it, and set it aside.
# Next fit your standing mixer with the paddle attachment.
# Place your sugar, flour, anise, cinnamon, yeast, and zest into a standing mixing bowl, and mix well with the paddle.
# Beat in the remaining 2 eggs one at a time, on high speed, mixing well after each addition.
# Remove the bowl from mixer and fold in your almonds.
# Then you will turn your dough out onto a well floured surface and divide it in half.
# Lightly flour your hands to prevent sticking and then shape the dough into 2 slightly flattened cylinders about 3 inches wide by 14 inches long.
# Be sure to brush off excess flour from the dough with a dry pastry brush.
# Then carefully transfer the dough cylinders to prepared sheet pan, placing them approximately 4 inches apart.
# Brush the dough cylinders with the beaten egg you have set aside at the beginning of the process.
# Bake for 30 minutes, misting the dough and oven with water from a spray bottle every 10 minutes or so until crust is shiny and dark brown (not burnt) in color.
# Remove from the oven when done, and allow them to cool slightly.
# Slice on the bias into ½ inch thick cookies and transfer the biscotti to a wire rack to allow them to cool completely.
# Biscotti can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
