The BEST biscotti ever....this was the third biscotti recipe I tried and by far the best!! I made a batch and brought them to work.....the girls loved them and asked for the recipe!! Easy and delicious a definate keeper.
I thought I would come back again to rate. I have made these Biscotti since I first found this recipe. I just got done making a double batch. I didn't have any almonds so I sub dried cranberries didn't have lemon so I used orange zest. These are the best and everyone whose tried them rave about this recipe. Thanks again Rosina.
DELICIOUS!! Texture was good too. Extract can be replaced with fiore de sicilia (orange flower water and vanilla) for another traditional italian flavor. I made 2 batches one with anise and one with the orange flavor. Everyone was happy!
Good basic recipe. It needed more flour though to keep the dough from being too sticky. I used margarine instead of butter. Also I scored the dough first AND I cut it before cooling it and I had little to no crumbling--but use a single-motion when cutting through or you may pull out dough from the middle.
I never dreeamed biscotti could be so easy. My 14 month old LOVES biscotti. I subsituted pistachio's for the Almonds. They were excellent!
This is a great biscotti recipe. I've never made biscotti before but I'm happy with the results. I used 1/2 lemon extract and 1/2 vanilla and added about a tablespoon of poppyseeds for a lemon poppyseed biscotti. I didn't change anything else and these are so good. The cook time did take longer than I anticipated. It took more than ten minutes to crisp them up. More like twenty minutes.
Great biscotti. I used orange zest instead of lemon. Another addition to the Christmas gift baskets this year. This and the Cappuccino in a Jar recipe are a great hostess gift for all those holiday parties!
I couldn't believe I made such a delicious biscotti- thanks for this recipe!!
it was good..close to what mamma use to make..needed alittle more flavor added to it..
Too Crumbly! They tasted ok but when I went to slice them they all fell apart. I maybe got 8 good looking ones out of the whole batch. These were meant to be gifts so I will have to look for another recipe to use. I tryed both a serrated knife and a steak knife. Surprisingly the steak knife worked better.
