Eggless Almond Biscotti




Today is the last day for the 3rd week of the the mega Blogging Marathon and I am sharing an eggless version of almond biscotti.
Biscottis are twice baked cookies or biscuits popular in Italy.These are oblong shaped cookies/biscuits,cutting the loaf when its out from the oven and bake it again to get a crunchy texture.
I made these biscottis for the first time and wanted to make it eggless,so used an extra tbs of butter and a pinch of baking soda and some milk.I followed this recipe which was given long time in Home Bakers Challenge event.Used some chopped almonds and made.
Since I didn't reduce the temperature for second bake,it browned little more.The taste was so good with perfect crunch and vanished on the same day I baked.Off to the recipe..........................

  • Preheat the oven at 350 F.Shape the dough to a log as shown and keep it on a baking tray and bake it in  the preheated oven for 25 minutes or the top gets a nice golden color.Turn off the oven.

  • Now if you are having a spray bottle ,spray water lightly on the top and sides of the baked log and cover it with a damp cloth for 10.Otherwise with wet hands gently press the top and sides of the baked log.This will soften the crust,now gently slice it diagonally using a sharp serrated knife or pizza cutter.

  • Arrange it on a lined baking tray and preheat the oven at 325F and bake it for 20-25 minutes or till it becomes nice and crunchy.Bake it for 10-12 minutes then turn the biscottis to the other side and bake for 10 -12 minutes.Cool it on a wire rack.

  • Store it in an air tight container


  • Chop the almonds to smaller pieces, I chopped slightly bigger pieces but bit difficult while slicing after the first bake.
  • Chopped pistachios and dried cranberries also can be used.



Enjoy.........................................................

Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...

Paasiparuppu Dosa/Yellow Moong Dhal Dosa

For the 5th day under instant dosa varieties in Cooking Carnival is a protein rich dosa with moong dhal. This dosa can be called as vegetarian omlette as the taste resembles egg omlette.This dosa can be spread into a thin crepe or like uthappam/pancake.Either way it tastes good. The dhal gets soaked in less than an hour,once the batter is ready the dosa can be made.Grated veggies or some greens can be added to make it more healthy. Today I used,chopped onion and coriander leaves.Spicy tomato chutney or coriander chutney pairs very well with this dosa.Lets move on to the recipe............                                                                                                    ...
