For Carey, Vicki, Brian and anyone else interested, here´s the Almond-Orange Biscotti recipe, published in Parade Magazine a few years ago.
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Grease and flour baking sheet. Shake off excess.
3. In a large bowl, sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together. Make a well in center of mixture.
4. To the well add remaining ingre- dients.With your hands, work dry mixture with liquids until a dough has been formed. Divide the dough in half.
5. On a lightly floured surface, shape dough into 2 flat-bottomed cylinders, 1 in. high, 2 1/2 in. wide and 8 in. long. Remove each to the baking sheet.
6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until lightly colored on top. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
7. Holding a long sharp knife by the handle and tip; cut cylinders diagonally into 3/4-in. slices.
Carefully place slices back on baking sheet, cut sides down; return to oven for 15 minutes more and bake until sides are golden and biscotti have dried a bit.
Remove from oven and cool on wire racks. The biscotti should be somewhat hard and crunchy. Yield: 20 to 24 biscotti You can also dip one end into some melted chocolate, for a nice effect and great taste.
