I've long loved biscotti with my morning coffee but during the quarantine period it had been all but impossible to obtain from the places I used to buy it, so I found out how to make it myself. This is adapted from a recipe originally found at shelovesbiscotti.com, but without the granulated sugar (all brown sugar only) or lemon zest, whose point I could never get. It is less sweet and there's a hint of a salty flavour that I enjoy with my coffee. 🇮🇹
