  • serves: 15
  • yield: 30 biscotti
  • ready in: 1 hour 10 mins (20 mins Prep - 50 mins Cook)
These are great for Christmas gifts. For a richer almond flavour, use almond extract or almond liqueur instead of the vanilla.

ingredients

  • 275g (10 oz) plain flour
  • 200g (7 oz) caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 50g (2 oz) sliced almonds
  • 100g (4 oz) dried cranberries

preparation method

  1.   Preheat oven to 160 C / Gas mark 3. Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
  2.   Combine dry ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl. Whisk together eggs, egg whites and vanilla or almond extract in a separate mixing bowl.
  3.   Add egg mixture to dry ingredients, mixing just until moist, using an electric mixer on medium speed. Add dried cranberries and almonds; mix thoroughly.
  4.   On floured surface, divide batter in half and pat each half into a log approximately 35cm (14 in) long and 4cm (2 in) thick. Place on prepared baking tray and bake 30 minutes or until firm. Cool on a wire rack.
  5.   Reduce oven temperature to 150 C / Gas mark 2. Cut biscotti into thin slices. Place cut biscottis on a baking tray and bake for an additional 20 minutes. Let cool and store in a loosely covered container.

    Used different ingredients:

    This is so easy (for biscotti). I added 1 t. cinnamon and 1/2 t nutmeg, and used dried instead of fresh cranberrys. This was a welcome recipe that I didn't have to struggle with broken pices at all.
