Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 60 grams Sliced almonds
- 15 grams Pearled sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cardamom.
In another mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer or a sturdy whisk.
Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Fold in the sliced almonds until evenly distributed.
Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a log approximately 30 cm (12 inches) long and 7 cm (3 inches) wide.
If desired, sprinkle pearled sugar over the top of the log for added sweetness and texture.
Bake the log in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden and set. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the log diagonally into 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) thick pieces.
Lay the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet, and return them to the oven.
Bake the slices for an additional 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crisp and lightly golden.
Remove the biscotti from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Serve with coffee, tea, or as a delightful standalone treat. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
