Coffee without Biscotti, come on
Coffee and Biscotti just go together in the morning. Also in the afternoon or late afternoon. Or with wine in the evening. I have a problem with these Biscotti. There are so good and not to hard and they call me. I use almond extract instead of anise. Because I just love almond flavor. You choose. The recipe is form Taste of home,
I plop the batter into two logs on the parchment paper.
I like to use a brush to shape the dough when I put the milk on top.
They are easy to take off the paper and onto a cutting board to cut into slices.
You turn them on one side and cook for 10 minutes, and then the other side for 10 minute more.
Best part, eat and repeat.
