Original Italian Cantucci Biscuits Recipe | Almond Biscotti | How Tasty Channel

Cantucci are traditional almond Tuscany biscuits that contain all the genuine italian cooking love: fresh eggs, flour, almonds and honey. They're super easy to prepare! Cantucci have a crispy consistence, so the tradition says you have to dip them into the Vin Santo (Holy Wine), a sweet wine from Tuscany.
I can guarantee they're great on their own, without anything else!
You can keep them in a cookie can for weeks, so they're a great gift idea for Christmas.

Ingredients:
Makes about 38 Cantucci

3 cups (450 g) All Purpose Flour
7/8 cup (200 g) Granulated White Sugar
1 tablespoon Honey
5 oz (150 g) Raw Unpeeled Almonds
3 eggs and 1 yolk
1-2 teaspoons vanilla paste (or vanilla extract)*
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 pinches of salt

* someone add vanilla and also other arome (orange zest ecc..), but the original Cantucci do not require many flavours since traditionally they're served with Holy Wine which is very tasteful.
So I prefer to cook them in the most traditional way, adding just a little vanille.

Directions:

In a big bowl combine the flour, the salt, the sugar and the baking powder.
In a medium size bowl whisk the eggs, the honey and the vanilla paste.
Make a dip in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs mix; start to combine using a spoon and in the end knead to form a slightly uniform dough. Add the unpeeled almonds.
Transfer the dought to a lightly floured surface and knead about 1 minute, or until the almonds will be weel combined in the center of the dough.
Divide the dough in two equal parts and roll them into two logs that are about 11 inch. (25 cm) long.
Place the logs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Whisk 1 yolk and 2 tablepoons of milk and brush the logs.
Bake in preheated oven at 350° F (180° C) for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
Let them cool for about 10 minutes. Cut diagonally into 0,5 inch. (1,5 cm) slices (be careful, the logs are still hot).
Place the cookies back on the bakink sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350° F (180° C) for 10 minutes.

You can store Cantucci for weeks in a cookie can.
