Re: What's everyone doing today?

@Bridgegal    Vanilla Almond Biscotti 

 

 

1 1/2 cups flour 

1/2 cup coarsely ground almonds

1/4 tsp salt

1-1/2 tsp Baking Powder

2 Tbsp butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup warmed honey

1 egg

1tsp vanilla

 

Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease one large baking sheet. Combine first five ingredients in a small bowl, cream the butter, sugar, honey, egg and vanilla until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and mix well. Divide the dough into two equal pieces. Roll and shape each ball of dough into a 12 inch log, place 4-5 inches apart on baking sheet and flatten slightly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until firm. When cool, cut logs diagonally into 1/2 inch slices on baking sheet 1/2 inch apart and return to oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.

As for me, I'm hoping to brag that the biscotti I will be baking this afternoon turn out well.  😉  The dough is chilling in the refrigerator right now.

 

They should be tasty as the recipe includes dried cranberries, dried apricots, and pistachios, along with anise seed and fennel seed. 

🍑🥜 

I've made them before but infrequently so I never quite know how they'll turn out.

 

Later, I'll be eating a few (hopefully) good biscotti while watching a movie.

 

If you'd like to share your plans for the day, please do.


your biscotti recipe sounds wonderful.....can you share it?!

Ha, I love teasing back and forth about sports teams.   Your team showed up to play.  Mine didn't.  Honestly, I'm fine if the Eagles manage to win the division.  I want a huge coaching change with the Cowboys and that might do it.   Probably not, but I can hope.

Re: What's everyone doing today?

I live in western Washington (state) and we're getting ready for another big windstorm. I had my husband chop up some kindling yesterday in case we lose power. I need to do some shopping but I might have to put it off till tomorrow.
