Walnut Biscotti Recipe
Biscotti are dry, twice-baked biscuits that originated in Italy. The traditional recipes contain almonds, pistachios, hazelnut or pine nuts. Nowadays people also use also various seeds, glazes and flavourings.
Biscotti can last for a long time if stored in an airtight container. Wrapped in cellophane or placed in a nice box they will make a great present for your loved ones.
This recipe doesn’t contain egg yolks and the biscotti are cut really thin.
