  • I must ask you to pardon my quarantine brain and weird space buns. Otherwise, let’s make Cook's Illustrated Orange-Almond Biscotti.
    Ingredients:
    2 cups AP flour
    1 tsp baking powder
    1/4 tsp salt
    4 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
    1 cup sugar
    2 eggs
    1/2 tsp vanilla
    1/4 tsp almond extract
    3/4 cup whole almonds, toasted and chopped coarse
    2 Tbsp minced zest from an orange
    Directions:
    1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat to 350°. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in medium bowl; set aside.
    2. Cream butter and sugar together until smooth, about 2 mins with mixer at medium speed. Beat in eggs one at a time, then extracts. Stir in toasted and chopped almonds and zest. Sprinkle dry ingredients over egg mixture, then fold in until dough is just mixed.
    3. Halve dough and turn each portion onto an oiled cookie sheet covered with parchment. Using floured hands, quickly stretch each portion of dough in a rough 13x2 inch log, placing them about 3 inches apart on the cookie sheet. Pat each dough shape to smooth it. Bake, turning pan once, until loaves are golden and just beginning to crack on top, about 35 mins.
    4. Cool the loaves for 10 mins; lower oven to 325°. Cut each loaf diagonally into 3/8 inch slices with a serrated knife (normal-ish cookie size). Lay the slices flat, about 2/3 inch apart, on the cookie sheet and return them to oven. Bake, turning over each cookie halfway through baking, until crisp and golden brown on both sides, about 15 mins. Transfer biscotti to wire rack and cool completely.
    5. Yum.

    Well done Jennifer! You’re great at baking. As I can see, you cooked a particular kind of biscotti that in Italy we name “cantucci”.. cantucci & vin santo should be the original winner match, as I recall..but I live in Verona and we usually dip “i cantucci” in another sweet wine, Recioto. I’m saying it just for the record❣️😊🌷

You remind me of myself when I get flummoxed especially with new recipes when I have taken a photo of them and I have to enter the password on my celular every couple of minutes to read the recipe… duh. I love my small air fryer my youngest son sent me for Mother’s Day during COVID lockdown. It toasts nuts and seeds in a couple of minutes so much easier to control than an oven. If you don’t have one it is a blast trying out new taste healthier recipes like my son and Did when he came for a visit.. You can air fry almost anything in it. Thank you Jennifer

    Awesome! But Jennifer I have 2 suggestions. Brush the outside of your loaf with egg whites which will make it shiny, and take a 1/4 of the almonds and grind them finer so the almond taste is blended with the flour mixture. Take it from a camera dude in Toronto, Jennifer is a beautiful soul.
