Receta Almond Biscotti
Crunchy biscotti are my go-to coffee dunkers. The sweet toasts make a perfect hostess or holiday gift besides. This recipe features almonds but pecans or hazelnuts would be fine, with vanilla extract in place of almond.
Ingredientes
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 7/8 cup granulated sugar (1/2 cup + 1/3 cup will work)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds (I used slivered)

- NOTE: An electric stand mixer is ideal for making this because the dough is very thick.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a large baking sheet and set aside.
- In large mixing bowl beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and extract.
- In a smaller bowl stir together flour, baking soda, salt, and cardamom.
- Add flour mixture alternately with sour cream to butter mixture in 3 or 4 increments each; stir in almonds.
- Divide dough in half; shape each portion into a ball. Roll each ball into a 15-inch log on the baking sheet arranging the rolls 4 or 5 inches apart.lengthwise on it.
- Bake 30 minutes or until lightly browned and firm to touch.
- Carefully transfer to cutting board and cut at a 45 degree angle with sharp knife into 1/2-inch slices.
- Place slices cut-side down on baking sheet.and bake for 5 minutes ON EACH SIDE or til lightly browned. Remove to wire rack to cool completely. (I cut and bake 1 log slices at a time.)
- Yield: about 40 biscotti.
