ALMOND BISCOTTI TOSCANI (GLUTEN-FREE)



Almond Biscotti Toscani (Gluten-Free) image

I went to a gluten-free baking class and this was one of the featured recipes. I had never had biscotti before, so I don't really know how this compares. I liked it however. It was quite good dipped in my coffee and had just the right amount of crunch and sweetness. Makes a fair amount and supposedly keeps for a long time.
