It is that time of the year again, when Great British Bake Off fever takes hold. I love it. The kids love it and my husband loves it as it always inspires me to get baking. This week I was determined to give Biscotti a try, I have never made them before and they looked delicious.
I used Paul Hollywood’s biscotti recipe as my base and changed the ingredients slightly and the result is a crunchy, tasty biscuit that is perfect with a cuppa and that can be kept for up to two weeks in an airtight container so they are often made as gifts. Mine won’t last long enough to be given to anyone as they are extremely moreish.
