Cantuccini
Cantuccini
Cantuccini are traditional Italian almond biscuits that are baked twice, giving them a crunchy texture. They are usually enjoyed dipped in coffee or dessert wine.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole almonds
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toast the almonds in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Let them cool, then roughly chop them.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest together.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Fold in the chopped almonds until evenly distributed.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
- Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the logs into 1-inch wide slices. Place the slices back on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the Cantuccini are golden and crisp.
- Let them cool completely before serving.
- Enjoy!
