Homemade Biscotti
Homemade biscotti are a simple sweet treat that are endlessly customizable and are the perfect companion for a hot cup of homemade coffee.
Servings: 18 biscotti
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour $0.28
- 1 tsp baking powder $0.06
- 1/4 tsp salt $0.02
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg $0.02
- 1 cup granulated sugar $0.39
- 4 Tbsp butter, room temperature $0.62
- 2 large eggs $0.78
- 1/2 tsp vanilla or almond extract $0.29
- 1/4 lb. white chocolate (optional for decorating) $1.00
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract with a mixer until mostly smooth (a few small lumps of butter is okay).
- Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and stir together until it forms a ball of dough.
- Divide the dough into two and shape each one into a flattened log about eight inches long and 2-3 inches wide. Place the logs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake the logs for about 25 minutes, or until lightly golden on the edges and there are a few cracks in the top of the dough.
- Remove from the oven and carefully transfer to a cutting board. Use a finely serrated bread knife to slice the biscotti, on a diagonal, into ½-inch wide slices.
- Place the slices back onto the baking sheet, laying flat, and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip them over, and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely before decorating with melted chocolate (if desired). Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee!
