Italian biscotti

Ingredients:
100-150 g almonds
2 eggs
2 dl sugar
2 tsp vanilla sugar
½ pinch salt
finely grated peel of 1 orange
4 dl flour
1 tsp baking powder

 (if you don't like oranges, you can always use cocoa, saffron or make them original with only the vanilla sugar)




 
Turn on the oven on 175 degrees (celsius)
Put the almonds on a baking tray and roast them in the oven for 5 min. Let them cool of afterwards.

Mix the almonds, egg, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt and the orange peel in a bowl. Sift the flour and baking powder into the mix. Work it into a dough.
Put the dough on a floured surface and cut it into two pieces. Roll out the dough into two long "breads".
Put them on the baking tray and bake them in the center of the oven for 25 min.

Take out the tray from the oven and lower the heat to 120 degrees (celsius).
Cut the breads into 1 cm thick slices/bits.
Put the slices on the tray again so that the cut surface is upp  and put them in  the oven until they're completely dry, approximately 35 min.

Let them cool of on a rack and store them in a tightly seal jar to keep them fresh.





I give this recipe 5 stars!
It was very good and crispy. I personally love the taste of the oranges, and it was very simple to make and didn’t take that long. A great snack!
