There's no wrong place to ask for an almond biscotti recipe.
This recipe I'm now sharing with you has been lovingly passed from nonna to nipotina, generation after generation... until I found it on some random website.
* 250g plain flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 180g caster sugar
* 1 pinch salt
* 25g butter, melted and cooled
* 2 eggs
* 175g almonds, coarsely chopped
1) Mix the flour with baking powder, then add sugar, vanilla sugar and salt. Form into a mound with a hollow in the middle.
2) Pour the butter and eggs into it and knead to a dough. Knead in the chopped almonds. Form the dough to a ball, adding more flour if necessary. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
3) Line a baking tray with baking parchment and preheat oven to 200 C / Gas 6.
4) Cut dough into 6 pieces and shape each into a 25cm log. Arrange logs on a baking tray, leaving enough space for them to spread whilst cooking. Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes.
5) Allow them to cool a little, then cut into 1cm slices. Lay on a baking tray and bake for another 8-10 minutes at 200 C / Gas 6 until golden-brown.

That's one of my first attempts. Note that the dough has been rolled and flattened before the first bake - I don't do that anymore, which makes the biscotti fluffier.
