Almond Cantuccini

Famous in Florence and Tuscany
A delight with coffee or tea


My Italian teacher came by today, and together with my mom and I, made this crunchy yummy biscuit.




Ingredients:
150 grams of sugar
75 grams of butter
2 eggs
250 grams of self-raising flour
lemon and orange zest
50 grams of diced almonds

***
After mixing together all the ingredients,
We spilt the batter into two,
Laid them out as two long rectangles on a tray,
Baked them for 20 minutes (200˚ C),
Took them out for slicing,
Popped them back in for another 10 minutes
and they were done.

  2. Ohh I've had those before! Their pretty good :D Though the ones I had were not homemade. I'm sure homemade ones would be better.

    Great shots by the way =]
