Almond & Cranberry Biscotti

♦ December 30, 2021 ♦ Leave a comment

Another really easy Christmas recipe, although it doesn’t have to be just for this time of year.

Incredibly easy and I’m sure you can add any dried fruit or nuts to the mixture.

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2/3 cup caster sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond essence
  • 1 1/3 cups plain flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/4 cup pistachios
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries

Method:

  1. Preheat over to 180C/160C fan-forced. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
  2. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg, egg yolk and essence in a large bowl until pale and thick.
3. Sift over flour and the baking powder
4. Add cranberries
5. Add nuts
6. Stir to combine
7. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth.
8. Divide dough in half and shape into logs. Flatten slightly.
9. Bake for 30 mins or until golden. Allow to cool for 15 mins. Reduce over to 140C/120C Fan-forced
10. Using a serrated knife, slice into 5mm diagonal slices.
11. Place in single layers on tray. Bake for 20-25 mins. Turning them halfway.

Finally, stand on trays for about 5 mins. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
