As promised on our favors, here is the recipe for the home made biscotti care of our maid of honor Sarah Liza and Danny Meyer:
Biscotti recipe
Ingredients:
2 3/4 all purpose flour
1 1/3 cups plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup almonds (chopped or slivered)
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 1/2 Tablespoons whole anise seed
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons of unsalted butter at room temperature
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg white lightly beaten
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F
2. Combine the flour, sugar, almonds, cornmeal, anise seed, baking
powder, and salt in a bowl. Mix thoroughly.
3. Add the butter and continue mixing at a low speed.
4. Mix in the eggs, vanilla, until a soft dough is formed.
5. Divide the dough in half and form it into 2 logs, each 14" x 5"
inches. Place the logs on the cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Lightly beat the eggs and brush on the logs and sprinkle with a
tablespoon of sugar.
6. Bake for 30 minutes.
7. Cool to room temperature.
8. When the logs are cool enough to handle, cut them and 1/4" strips.
Lower the oven to 325 F and bake for about 15.
Enjoy!
