Delicious flavour. Very crunchy...
Yummy.
i over cooked mine because I didn't fully follow the instructions and now it is pretty hard.
but the next lot i cooked for a normal amount of time and it was much better.
Will definitely make again. Thanks
Delicious biscotti!!!!
I did add some extra flour as I found the mixture to be very wet and didn't come to a ball in the bowl. But what a delicious biscotti!
The flavour of these bickies is amazing!! I didn't have any pistachios so just used 100g of roasted blanched almonds....lovely! I had to cook mine a lot longer than 20mins to dry them out although i think i have over cooked them now as they are extremely crunchy
Wondering f anyone could recommend best substitute for the sugar? I would love to try this recipe.
so yummy! im about to make my 3rd batch in as many days. will be adding these to my christmas baking list for sure!
