How to Make Almond And Lemon Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cornmeal, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat 1 cup granulated sugar and 3 large eggs until pale yellow and thick, about 3 minutes.
  4. Stir in the zest of 1 large lemon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup slivered almonds.
  7. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  9. Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide on the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 35 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  11. Cool for 5 minutes.
  12. Using a serrated knife, cut the logs crosswise into 3/4-inch thick diagonal slices.
  13. Arrange the biscotti cut-side down on the baking sheet.
  14. Bake for 25 minutes, or until pale golden.
  15. Let cool completely before dipping.
  16. For the chocolate dip: Melt 8 ounces of your favorite semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth and melted.
