Starbucks Almond Biscotti Recipes

ALMOND BISCOTTI

Steps:

• To toast almonds if needed: Heat oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 and lay on a baking tray and bake until lightly browned (around 10 mins).
• Turn oven down to 150C/130C Fan/Gas 2
• Combine Flour, Sugar, Baking Powder and Salt in a large bowl.
• Beat the Eggs, Vanilla Extract and Almond Extract in a separate bowl and add half the egg mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir in the almonds and then add remaining egg mixture.
• As the mixture starts to form a dough, use well-floured hands to mould into a ball. It's quite sticky!
• Mould dough into two logs with your hands about 20cm long by 3cm wide (approx) and lay on a baking tray covered with parchment. Leave some spreading room between the two logs.
• Bake for 40 mins until firm. Remove from oven and cool for 10-15 mins.
• Cut each log into slices of about 1.5 - 2cm on the diagonal and lay each slice on its side on the baking tray.
• Bake for another 10 mins and then turn and bake the other side for 10 mins.
• Remove from the oven and cool.
• Store in an air-tight container.
