Anisette Biscotti

The secret to delicate & fragile biscotti is to use cake flour. This is the best recipe I have found for biscotti. It will make about 50 biscotti depending on how thin you slice them. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

3 cups of cake flour
1 tablespoon of baking powder
3 ounces of sliced almonds
1 stick of unsalted butter
1 cup of sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 teaspooon of anise extract
1 teaspoon of anise seeds
3 eggs



Place the butter and the sugar in a mixer and mix until well incorporated. Then add the rest of the ingredients. Shape the batter into two logs and bake for thirty minutes. Then using a serrated knife, slice the baked logs on the diagonal every 1/2 inch. Bake for another twenty minutes longer, until the biscotti are dry and crisp !
