Biscotti

I am back blogging! I am sure no one noticed I took a break but I feel compelled to announce that I am back! I have decided that after all is fun writing about recipes and food and though I don't want to spend all my time in front of a computer, I could probably spare some of it for this little project.
Anyway I am back with  recipes of humble biscuits.
Biscuits are my new obsession. I love biscuits and I love to accompany my cup with one or two crunchy bits. However I hate the majority of biscuits on sale. They are full of hydroginated fat, which is the worst think to enter your body (and veins) and also they taste quite frankly very badly. The only biscuits I like to buy are quite expensive, (usually the Duchy's chocolate and vanilla ones) and there are only 8 per packet. So in my house they last only for a blink of an eye. I often hide them (yes I do!) until my husband or kids find them and I have to find a new hiding place. So let's say I have run out of hiding places and it's getting boring. It is just easier to make my biscuits , they are delicious and in good quantity to satisfy my greedy lot.



Biscotti Semplici

Ingredienti

250 gr flour
125 gr butter
125 sugar
1 egg
vanilla
pinch of salt


First of all mix the flour and the sugar then the butter, rubbing it in until all nicely mixed then add the egg salt, vanilla. work until nice and smooth and leave to rest in the fridge for an hour.
Take out of the fridge and roll the pastry about 2mm thick. Cut in whatever shape you like and place them in an oven metal tin and cook for about 10 minutes at 160 degree. When ready place them to cool on a metal wire. Scrumptious!

Yo can also give biscuits away as a gift. I made the box too. It looks cute, no?
