Making homemade almond biscotti is easy, delicious and much, much cheaper than buying them in the store. Biscotti also make a great gift!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 C Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 1/2 C Sugar

- 1 tsp Almond Extract
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and wisk until combined
- In a mixer, beat sugar, softened butter, eggs and almond extract until well blended.
- Slowly add in flour mixture-the resulting batter will be very stiff.

Love that you showed how easy and simple it is to make Biscotti at home. Like you, I have no idea why they charge so much for it in the stores or at coffee shops. I’ve made chocolate biscotti in the past, I’m hoping I have some almond extract on hand so I can try your recipe out this weekend.
FYI, You forgot the amount of eggs but since I watched the video first, I know it’s two.
