SWEDISH BISCOTTI



Swedish Biscotti image

This recipe comes from my husband's grandmother. In Swedish it is called Svenska Mandel Skorpar or Swedish Toast. It resembles biscotti but has cardamon in it not chocolate nor anise. It is wonderful with tea and keeps well if stored in a dry container. The best flavor of cardamon is fresh--remove the outside pod, put the seeds into a plastic ziplock bag, put the sealed bag on cement floor, and pound with a hammer and you have ground cardamon. This is the method my MIL taught me:) The original recipe says "a pinch of salt and soda" so that is why I have it here that way:) In Step 5 you are supposed to use sugar lumps but not even sure if they sell that anymore. Swedes use to drink a LOT of coffee and FIL loved his with lots of sugar. BTW, this is the small batch size. LOL!

Crisp, mildly spiced twice-baked cookies make a lovely accompaniment to fresh berries and sherbet but are equally nice alongside a cup of tea.

Yield Makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
2 teaspoons baking powder
Salt
3 3/4 ounces blanched almonds, ground (about 1 cup)
1 tablespoon cardamom pods, husks removed, seeds crushed (1/2 teaspoon)
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs plus 1 large egg white
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place rack in center of oven.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Mix almonds, cardamom, and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar into flour mixture. Beat eggs and vanilla, then mix into dry ingredients until well combined.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into a 9-by-2-inch log. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press gently to flatten top. Bake until pale gold and lightly cracked, about 30 minutes.
  • Lightly beat egg white, then brush onto biscotti. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake 15 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes on baking sheet on a wire rack.
  • Transfer to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut dough into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place slices, flat sides down, on baking sheet, and bake until golden brown and crisp, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer biscotti to wire rack, and let cool completely.

Tips:

- For a chewier biscotti, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. - If the dough is too sticky, add more flour until it is smooth and easy to handle. - Be careful not to over-mix the dough, as this can make the biscotti tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - When slicing the biscotti, use a sharp knife and make sure to cut them evenly. This will help them bake evenly. - Bake the biscotti until they are golden brown and crispy. The exact baking time will vary depending on the oven, so keep an eye on them. - Let the biscotti cool completely before dipping them in chocolate or other coatings. This will help the coating set properly.

Conclusion:

Swedish biscotti are a delicious and versatile cookie that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick snack or a dessert after a meal. With their crisp texture and flavorful coatings, Swedish biscotti are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
