Ingredients
- Serving Size : 48
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons anise extract
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Method
- PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F
- Combine the eggs, extract, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer and whip with a hand mixer set at high speed or in a heavy duty mixer fitted with the whip.
- Continue whipping until the mixture is very light and increased in volume, 6-7 minutes.
- While the egg mixture is whipping, combine the flour, cornstarch and baking powder and stir to mix.
- Remove the whipped eggs from the mixer and sift over the flour mixture in three additions, folding it in after each addition with a rubber spatula.
- The batter will lose most of its air and become rather stiff
- Pipe the batter, using a pastry bag with a 3/4-inch opening, but no tube, onto a jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper or buttered wax paper.
- Pipe two logs about 1 1/2 inches wide and the length of the pan.
- Bake the logs about 20 minutes, until they are well risen and golden.
- Remove from oven and place logs on a cutting board to cool about 10 minutes.
- Using a sharp, serrated knife, slice the logs diagonally at 1/2-inch intervals.
- Place the biscotti cut side down on the pan and return them to the oven for about 10-15 minutes, until they color lightly on the cut surfaces.
- Cool the biscotti on the pans and store them in a tin between layers of wax paper.
