Cantuccini almond and orange biscuits
These Italian biscuits are eaten after dinner and dipped into small glasses of Vin Santo - a wine-like sherry.
What you need
- 2 eggs
- 150 g soft light brown sugar
- 200 g plain flour, sifted
- 50 g ground almonds
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- grated rind of 1 orange
- 3-4 drops almond essence
- 100 g unblanched whole almonds, shelled, toasted and roughly chopped
Method
Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a baking sheet.
Beat together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Fold in the flour and ground almonds to make a soft paste. Fold in the remaining ingredients.
Spoon the mixture onto the baking sheet in sausage shapes (5 cm x 30cm/2in x 12in).
Bake for 10-12 min until golden.
Cut each roll diagonally into 1 cm thick slices. Spread on a baking sheet. Return to the oven for 8-10 min until hard.
Remove from oven. Leave to cool
