Espresso Biscotti

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons coffee beans (aku ganti dengan kopi instant nescafe 2 sdm)

2 tablespoons strong coffee (aku pake decafenated coffee)

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

2 cups plus

2 tablespoons flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

dash of salt

3/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Tambahan dari aku :

Vanilla secukupnya

Pasta coklat secukupnya

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325F. 

Grind coffee beans finely.

Place in a small bowl and mix with coffee.

Set aside. Cream together butter and sugar.

Beat in eggs and coffee mixture. Combine flour,

baking powder and salt. Add to creamed mixture.

Fold in chocolate chips if desired.

Pat dough into two equal logs on a floured baking sheet.

Should be about 14 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide.

Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly brown.

Transfer from sheet to rack and let cool for 5 minutes.

Cut diagonally at a 45 degree angle into 1/2 inch thick

pieces. Place slices upright on sheet and return to oven

for 10 minutes longer or until the desired crispness is

reached. Let cool on baking rack and store in

airtight container.

For variations sustitute toasted almonds for

chocolate chips or dip in chocolate.

Catatan :

Karena nggak punya chocolate chips terus adanya chocolate block (bittersweet chocolate) buat baking, jadinya biscotti-nya aku bikin polos aja.

Terus chocolate-nya aku melted sesuai direction di packagingnya, lalu celupkan satu bagian biscotti dan tiriskan diatas wax paper. Masukan ke lemari es sampe chocolate-nya kering.
