![]() Ingredients (∼50 cantuccini)
|
![]() In a large bowl add the sugar and eggs. |
![]() You beat them lightly for very little, just to mix the egg whites with the yolks. |
![]() Pour flour little by little sieving it above the mixing bowl. |
![]() Add the baking powder, salt, anise and almond essence. |
![]() Stir gently with a spatula. Add the almonds whole, with their skin. |
![]() Knead lightly with your hands, the dough, and divide into 5 parts. Knead with quick movements, each of them in oblong loaves. Place them in a shallow pan, onto wax paper, spaced. Sprinkle with brown sugar and a little flour. |
![]() Put the pan in a preheated oven at 170°C (338°F, Gas 3.5) for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, slice the loaves diagonally with a thickness of 1 cm (0.39 inches). Arrange the biscuits with a cut surface downwards and bake again for 5 more minutes. |
![]() Do not bake them more, because when they cool they will harden more. Enjoy your Cantoutsini dipped in coffee or tea. The Italians dip them into sweet wine Vin Santo. |
