Biscotti – Almond biscottis perfect with cup of tea or coffee

Cookies & Biscuits

Almond Biscotti is one of my favorite recipes and it took me long to post because I couldn’t click decent pictures. Biscotti reminds me of my brother in law who love these and buys big containers from costco. Once it was empty and I baked and filled it up. When he saw, he was surprised how it got refilled because he couldn’t distinguish between store bought and home made.

What is Biscotti?

Biscottis are Italian version of our desi cake rusk only with less fat/butter. They are perfect to dip in your tea or coffee and won’t betray you by breaking and slipping away in it. 

They are twice baked cookies hence the extra crispness.

Almond Biscotti – Flavors and Variations

The variations also are infinite. You keep the base recipe same and add in anything you fancy like coconut, chocolate chips, nuts, dry fruit etc. I have a separate post for chocolate biscottis also which you can find here. 

This recipe also yields a big batch so you can make on weekend and enjoy them rest of the week, perfect for lunch boxes. The entire recipe has 4 tablespoon of butter and is primarily an egg based recipe. I want to try with whole-wheat also but for now this is my go-to recipe.

How to store almond bisctotti?

They keep extremely well upto a week in an air-tight container. I feel they get only matured in flavor with time. I find them really nice for kids lunch boxes.

 

Now lets make it.

We all love chilghozas/pinenuts.Specially my eld We all love chilghozas/pinenuts.Specially my elder one and every winter my father would get them for her.My parents don't even eat or buy chilghozas/pinenuts when my daughter isn't there.(the grandparents love)This year, covid changed everything including our chilghozas supply and access.Last month my father's friend was visiting Riyadh and he surprised us by sending a few packs with him and excited we were would be an understatement.When I went to pick chilghozas, I felt so so homesick and missed my father like anything. Cried and prayed for all this to be over soon - covid 19 that changed 2020.
Gratitude nonetheless because it was less daunting for me and kept my loved ones safe and sound!As a thankyou gesture, made this basket for my father's friend and they loved it.Swipe to see more cloeups!Lemon pound cake (one bowl) - recipe on YouTube

English high tea or afternoon tea is incomplete wi English high tea or afternoon tea is incomplete without scones. Traditionally served in a 3 tier platter with sandwiches,pastries and assorted delicacies like eclairs etc. Scones are an integral part of it with clotted cream and jam.
Presenting my creation for last episode of our baking challenge which is scones/biscuits/muffins/cupcakes.The idea is to encourage baking from scratch at home! Merely putting together a few ingredients can create an array of baked goodies which are not only delicious but also healthier in terms of no additives preservatives and chemicals in general.
These scones turned out delicious, light, fluffy and soft.
Once your tastebuds are trained for the quality of food you consume,you are not likely to overeat or goto packaged food often.The only thing I would want next time is height. And basically 8 scones and not 14 should be made from this quantity.I went ahead and replaced half of the flour with wholewheat which in my opinion gave depth of flavour without compromising on texture.Good thing about scones is that they can be made sweet or savory and can have various add-ins.The clotted cream or devonshire cream is basically 35% cream, baked and chilled to get that thick skin. Back in pakistan we call it Balai.In my family, balai is always made using boiled and cooked milk, by cooling it overnight to get that thick rustic clotted cream leaving the milk with relatively less fat. That balai can even be used to make brownies or ghee.This balai is usually served with homemade apple jam or murabba (heirloom recipe) with whole apples cooked in sugar syrup for hours.Recipe of scones and jam in comments.Participants in this episode are super talented ladies, dont forget to check out the various scones and cupcakes variations they are postingSadaf @myculinaryfiles

As this year draws to end, I cannot help but think As this year draws to end, I cannot help but think, how less of parties I haved hosted this year! Well 6 months was complete lock down and then other 6 were spent home schooling and converting every part of home to either home office or class room! Oh well. In the end I am grateful for everything we realized to cherish which we had forgotten. Prayers and wishes for an amazing next year for us as an individual, as a family, as a nation, as a human!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
