Cantuccini

Great biscotti! Literally 'twice cooked'.

60gr soft butter

250gr sugar

2 eggs

grated rind of an orange

400gr flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

small pinch of salt

150gr whole almonds

3 tbs vino santo/milk/liquid of some description

Preheat oven. Mix butter and sugar, add eggs and mix in the rest of the ingredients.

Line a baking sheet and shape dough into 3 long salami shapes.

Bake for about 20 mins at 180 degrees.

Remove from oven and while still hot slice at an angle with a quick chopping action.

Handle carefully and lay down the slices.

Return to the hot oven for a further 5 to 10 mins to lightly toast.

Cool and store in a airtight container.

Serve with vino santo or just dunk in your coffee or tea for that matter...

Yum yum!
