The Real Italian Biscotti image

This is my mom's recipe for biscotti. They never last more than a few days after she makes them. I'm biased, but they are the BEST!

Time 55m

Yield 72 biscotti

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 eggs
1 ounce anise flavoring
5 cups flour
6 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups Crisco, plus
2 tablespoons Crisco

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In mixer beat eggs and anise flavoring together for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and sugar.
  • Mix in the Crisco until it turns into small pieces.
  • Add the egg mixture and combine (dough will be thick and sticky).
  • Lightly grease cookie sheet.
  • Roll dough into logs approximately the length of your cookie sheet, 1 1/2 inches thick and 1 inch high.
  • Place logs on the greased cookie sheet about 4 inches apart.
  • Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Remove from oven and slice diagonally.
  • Lay cut side down in tray and bake about 10 more minutes.
  • I have put almonds or walnuts (coarsely chopped) in batter and they do taste good., but I have found that if I put the nuts in dry mixture and then add the egg mixture it is so much easier.
