Christmas Biscotti

Biscotti are really easy to make, with fantastically yummy results.

They would be perfect dipped in a hot drink, even mulled wine or a nice glass of port or sherry if you feel that way inclined, it is coming up to Christmas after all.

These keep extremely well in a tin for a few weeks and you would have something to offer guests that pop in.  They also make ideal home-made Christmas gifts.

This is a recipe I have tried and found you can adapt with ease.

I have exchanged  ingredients and added my own favourite fruits and spices. I use this recipe as a base and it works really well.

My favourites are cherry, almond, dried cranberry,  chopped crystallised ginger and raisin, spiced with powdered ginger and mixed spice.

You can truly add any flavour you like providing you used dried fruits etc and you done make the mixture too wet.

Here is the link for the basic recipe.  It also includes nutritional information.

I have also included a link for a Trio of Biscotti from Paul Hollywood, just in case you fancy trying something a little different,
