Biscotti are basically long life biscuits. They have been popular since the days of Roman Legions on their travels and still today in hotels and coffee shops around the world. If you don’t like almonds, you can always substitute them with hazelnuts, pecans or walnuts. One of the benefits of these biscotti is the ability to dunk without falling apart. These are ideal for lunch boxes, picnics and children’s snacks. Not to forget those times when a mug of coffee and a biscuit are needed. This recipe produces about 40 biscuits. Obviously, there is no restriction of the flavours you can add. At the last count, there were over 40 flavours.
