One thought on “Almond Biscotti

  1. Biscotti.
    Made biscotti for the first time today and had a complete meltdown! The biscotti, I mean- not me. I made the almond biscotti recipe from here and just looked at it in the oven- it has spread flat on the baking tray. Was very sticky when I mixed it and shaped it into a log so my guess is that the mixture was too wet.
    Any ideas?
