Does anyone have a tried and true Biscotti recipe?  I found one in a cookbook I have (Susan Maria's Before & After) but it is a little to dry for me.  I would appreciate any help.  Thanks

It's the things that you do, that you don't have to do, that determine the difference when it is too late to do anything about it.    Author Unknown

Hi Phyllis P,

Here is a whole foods recipe I have that is good. You might be able to make substitutions to make it healthier; e.g. use whole wheat or almond or soy flour, regular Splenda and brown sugar Splenda partially, use egg substitues, etc. Hope this helps.

Biscotti - An Italian Classic

Ingredients:

3/4 C whole raw almonds

2 C all-purpose flour

2/3 C sugar

1 tsp baking soda

3/4 C egg substitute

1 tsp vanilla

1/4 C almond extract or almond liqueur (such as Amaretto)*

zest of 1 small orange - optional

 

Directions:

Put almonds in a shallow pan. Toast at 350° F for 10 minutes. Cool. Chop coarsely.

Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and nuts in a large mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, beat egg substitute, vanilla, almond extract and zest about 1 minute.

Add to flour mixture.

Cut dough in half. On a greased and floured baking sheet, pat dough into two logs, 1/2" thick x 1-1/2" wide and 12" long.

Place logs 2" apart. Bake in a preheated 300° F oven for 50 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. With a serrated knife, cut loaves at 45 degree angle, 1/2" thick (16-10 pieces). Lay slices flat on a baking sheet. Cook at 275F for 20-25 minutes, turning once. Store in an airtight container.
