Praline biscotti
Prado Biscotti is a delicious and crunchy sweet treat, ideal to accompany a cup of coffee or tea. Start by mixing the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until you get a uniform mixture. Then, incorporate the eggs, egg yolks, vanilla and almond extracts, and finally add whole almonds that provide texture and flavor. The dough is divided into four parts and shaped into flat logs that are baked until golden. After a brief cooling, they are sliced diagonally and baked again on both sides to achieve that characteristic crunchy touch of biscotti. Finally, they are allowed to cool completely before being stored in airtight containers to preserve their freshness.
