Someone asked about my recipe for how to make homemade almond biscotti. I got the recipe from Joy of Baking .com. It came out tasting great. I want to try another batch with raw sugar since I'm not a fan of white sugar. But at the very least, I got exactly what I wanted. The biscotti are delicious!

Ingredients:

1 cup whole almonds
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp sal
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

• Toast almonds at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes.
• Let cool and chop coarsely.

• Set oven at 300 degrees F.
• In a bowl, lightly beat eggs and extract together. Set aside.

• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Beat until blended.
• Gradually add egg mixture and beat until dough forms. Add almonds halfway through.

• With floured hands, divide dough into two logs, 10 inches long and 2 inches wide.
• Bake on baking sheet for 35-50 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
• Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack for 10 minutes

• Transfer logs to cutting board and, using a serrated knife, cut log into slices 1/2 inch thick on the diagonal.
• Arrange on baking sheet.
• Bake for 10 minutes, turn slices over and bake another 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let cool.

• Eat your almond biscotti with espresso or tea. Yum!
