Classic Biscotti Recipe

This classic biscotti recipe is simple with no frills. Pairs perfectly with a cappuccino!

I participated in Mom Blog Tour Summer Fancy Food Show (#MomBlogTourFF) on behalf of Wendy’s Bloggers. I received Two Rivers Coffee products to facilitate my review, but my opinions and content are my own.

We all know I am a coffee person. I drink it morning, noon, and night if I could (and I have). I know other coffee drinkers can relate with me when it comes to their morning coffee rituals. That first sip of coffee in the morning is heaven. And what makes it even better is when I have something sweet to go along with it.

Going with the traditional coffee traditions, nothing beats biscotti with your coffee. Homemade biscotti has a crispy, crunchy, mild sweet flavor. Not the jaw breaking commercial biscotti that you find in the stores. It can be a little daunting and intimidating to make at first but it’s really not that bad! And once you master a classic biscotti recipe, you can try your hand at other flavors.

If you want a perfect match for your biscotti, you can’t go wrong with a cappuccino. You don’t have to hit the drive-thru to get a cappuccino. You can easily make one at home with the help of your Keurig and Baileys Cappuccino.

It couldn’t be easier to make. Pour the contents of the first packet into a cup or mug. A glass mug works best so you can see the foam in action. Next, brew the single serve cup over the foam packet.

The powder does get clumpy sometimes so its best to start stirring while its brewing to avoid this. If there are clumps just stir until they are fully dissolved and let it sit for about 10 or 15 seconds until the foam and the coffee are fully separated.

Enjoy your home brewed cappuccino with your homemade classic biscotti!

Tips for making this Classic Biscotti Recipe:

  • Allow all your ingredients to come to room temperature before starting the process.
  • Do not over knead the dough. Mix and knead it lightly just until it comes together.
  • Don’t have anise extract. Use a 1/2 Tbsp. almond and 1/2 Tbsp. vanilla instead.
  • Add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even citrus peels to your dough!
  • You can make the dough ahead of time and store  in the refrigerator for a day or two.
  • Always use a serrated knife to cut nice smooth clean slices.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbs baking powder
  • 1 tbs anise extract

Instructions

  2. In a medium bowl, beat together the oil, eggs, sugar and anise flavoring until well blended. Combine the flour and baking powder, stir into the egg mixture to form a heavy dough. Divide dough into two pieces. Form each piece into a roll as long as your cookie sheet. Place roll onto the prepared cookie sheet, and press down to 1/2 inch thickness.
  3. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Remove from the baking sheet to cool on a wire rack. When The cookies are cool enough to handle, slice each one crosswise into 1/2 inch slices. Place the slices cut side up back onto the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 6 to 10 minutes on each side. Slices should be lightly toasted.
