Time 3h30m

Yield Makes 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, plus more for dusting
3/4 cup sugar, plus 1 teaspoon for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons grated (about 2 lemons) lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups unblanched, whole almonds
1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, zest, and salt. Stir in almonds and ginger.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and vanilla; stir into flour mixture. (Dough will appear very dry but will come together when kneaded.)
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface; knead until smooth. Divide dough in half; shape into two logs, each about 1 inch high and 3 inches wide. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet; sprinkle with remaining sugar.
  • Bake until logs are puffed and outside is firm (the tops may crack), about 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 2 hours.
  • Using a serrated knife, thinly slice the logs crosswise, 1/4 inch thick. Lay slices on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until crisp and lightly golden, rotating pans and turning biscotti over halfway through, 20 minutes total. Cool completely before serving or storing.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and gather all your ingredients and equipment. This will make the baking process smoother and quicker.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your biscotti will taste. Use real butter, fresh eggs, and high-quality almond flour.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the biscotti hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Slice the Biscotti Carefully: Use a sharp serrated knife to slice the biscotti. This will help prevent them from crumbling.
  • Bake the Biscotti Twice: This will help them dry out and become crispy.
  • Store the Biscotti Properly: Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
