Traditional Biscotti
November 29, 2011

We used to do a monthly wine club and with each month’s wines, we included a recipe. We featured Vin Santo one month and a biscotti recipe was a natural addition. As you can gather by now, a traditional and simple recipe was in order. As a good son, I enrolled my father in the club and he took to this recipe – very similar to his Italian mother’s which wasn’t written down – and perfected it. As an engineer, be assured it has been tested hundreds of times and is perfectly accurate in every detail. Thanks, Dad!

Traditional Biscotti
½ cup melted, unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
1 ½ Tbsp vanilla extract
(or 1 ½ Tbsp. anise extract or flavoring)
5 large eggs
5 cups all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup blanched, toasted almonds
