Allow me to let you in on a little secret – the key to a delightful morning or a relaxing afternoon tea isn’t just the hot beverage by your side. It’s also the baked goodies on your plate. Today, I’d like to warp you into the golden world of “Turmeric, Almond, and Orange Biscotti.”
Flaunting the royal hue of turmeric, packing a zesty punch of orange, and giving a hearty nod to delicious crunch of almonds, these biscotti aren’t just treats; they are an adventure in flavor.
Ingredients List
To embark on this culinary voyage, you’ll need:
– 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
– 1.5 cups Sugar
– 1 tsp Baking Powder
– 1/2 tsp Salt
– 2 tbsp Orange Zest
– 4 tsps Turmeric Powder
– 1 cup Almonds, Roughly Chopped
– 3 Large Eggs
– 1 tbsp Orange Juice
– 1 tsp Almond Extract
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F which is equivalent to 175°C, and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent our biscotti from sticking and guarantee a golden, crispy exterior.
2. In a mixing bowl, blend together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and turmeric until combined. This decadent mix will form the base of our biscuits and will serve you a dose of turmeric that’s as moreish as it is beneficial.
3. Stir in the orange zest and chopped almonds. Take the time to enjoy this magical blend of rich and earthy undertones that take this simple biscotti up a notch.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, orange juice, and almond extract. This tantalizing trio will do wonders to enhance the aroma and taste of our biscotti.
5. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry mix. Herd patience! Over-mixing could lead to a hard biscotti. So aim for a cohesive, deep-golden dough.
6. Divide the dough into two, shaping each half into a log on a floured surface. Crisp and golden on the outside, moist and crumbly on the inside, shaping truly is pivotal to that perfect biscotti bite.
7. Transfer the logs onto the baking sheet, and bake for 25 minutes. When our biscotti start to rise and crack on top, its heavenly aroma will be a reminder of the praiseworthy baker you’ve become.
8. Let the logs cool then slice them into half-inch pieces. Lay them back on the baking sheet and bake again for another 15 minutes or until crisp. This double-baking magic is the secret to that addictive crunch.
