Love this recipe!
Super quick and easy to make, turned out to be a lot easier to cut the thin slices than I thought it would be.
I used half slivered almonds and half pistachios as that’s what I had. Could use less cranberries if you didn’t have enough.
I’ve melted some 70% dark choc and dipped half the slices too
Made these first time and would definitely make again. I used cranberry and pistachio and turned out great! Only challenge for me was shaping the log as the mixture is really sticky. With more flour on hand, it's easier. Easy and thank you!
First time making these , they turned out great and extremely tasty. I made 2 lots 1 I have frozen so hopefully they will bake up just as good! TY for the recipe
Lovely recipe! Was easy to make and a great thing to have in the cupboard for when people came over for a cup of tea, or just to enjoy on your own.
These are just divine, can't stop eating them even without the cheese! Will definitely include in any cheese platter I ever have! Highly recommend this recipe, so easy to make too.
this wasn't a complete success for me, perhaps 3 eggs is too much liquid. I found that the mix was very sloppy after kneading, so I had to add about 200gm extra flour before it would come together. Previous biscotti recipies I've used have had more sugar and less eggs.
This recipe is originally a Donna Hay recipe. It was published in The Sunday Mail, U ON SUNDAY, on Sunday, December 15, 2013.
This is totally delicious, it is surprisingly simple to make, plus the addition of ruby-red dried cranberries gives this classic a pretty festive twist.
A piece (or pieces) of this infamous italian biscuit is the ultimate accompaniment for a good coffee!
