Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup cup sugar

3 tablespoons butter or stick margarine -- softened

1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh lavender leaves

1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large egg whites

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds

Cooking spray

 

1. Preheat oven to 325°.

 

2. Beat the first 5 ingredients at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended.

Beat in egg whites. Lightly spoon the flour into dry measuring cups, and level

with a knife. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add flour

mixture to sugar mixture, beating until blended. Stir in almonds.

 

3. Turn biscotti dough out onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; with

lightly floured hands, shape the dough into a 10-inch-long roll; flatten the

roll to a 1-inch thickness. Bake the roll at 325° for 30 minutes. Remove the

roll from the baking sheet, and cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.

 

4. Cut roll diagonally into 14 (½-inch) slices using a serrated knife. Place the

slices, upright, on baking sheet. Bake the slices at 325° for 15 minutes (the

cookies will be slightly soft in center but will harden as they cool).

 

5. Remove from baking sheet; cool completely on wire rack. Yield: 14 servings

(serving size: 1 biscotto).

 

NOTE: Store in an airtight container. To freeze up to 6 months, place biscotti

in an airtight container.
