Here’s a classic recipe for biscottiskorpor, Swedish almond biscuits that are perfect for coffee or tea:
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sliced almonds (or chopped, if preferred)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the sliced almonds.
- Shape the Dough: Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 12 inches long. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
- First Bake: Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Slice the Logs: Carefully slice the logs into 1/2-inch thick slices using a serrated knife.
- Second Bake: Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
