Interestingly, I get e-mail.
Lately more from my blog… which surprises me. Anyway – I recently got a request for more Biscotti recipes. Not sure why, but here is my favorite. From Lisa. My younger sister.
3/4 Cup Whole Almonds
1/2 Cup Almond Paste
3 Eggs
3/4 Cup Sugar
2 Teaspoons Grated Lemon Zest
1/2 Teaspoon Almond Extract
1 2/3 Cup Flour
1/3 Cup Corn Starch
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
Place nuts in a shallow pan and bake in a pre-heated 350 (F) oven for 8 to 10 minutes – or until golden brown. Let cool.
In a mixing bowl beat almond paste with a wire whisk until creamy.
Beat in eggs. Gradually add sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
Add lemon zest and almond extract.
In a bowl combine the flour, corn starch, baking powder and salt.
Add to the egg mixture, mixing until blended.
Cut nuts into halves or thirds and fold in. With a spatula spread the soft dough on a greased and floured baking sheet, forming 2 strips about 14 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
Bake in the middle of a preheated 350 (F) Oven for 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a drying rack. Let cool 5 minutes.
Place on a cutting board. With a sharp serrated knife slice diagonally at 45 degrees – about 1/2 inch thick. Lay the slices on a baking sheet and return to a 325 (F) oven for about 10 minutes, turning them once to dry slightly.
Makes about 4 dozen mandible stressing biscotti

Hi, Coffee Expert. Nice blog.
I removed your Lisa’s Biscotti recipe from my blog Santabarbarawoman.blogspot.com since it may have been a little awkward for you to see it posted on someone else’s site without your permission. I had your coffee.bc.ca site linked to the recipe, however, but at any rate, it’s off my site now. Just feels like the right thing to do. Thanks for the recipe anyway.
Peace.
Hey – feel free to reprint it now that I know…
No worries. You live in Canada? In B.C.
Welcome sister!
