How to Make Anna's Twice Baked Almond Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and honey.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the sliced almonds and any optional candied peel.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a log about 12-14 inches long and 2 inches wide.
  8. Place the log on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscotti is lightly golden brown.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
  11. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
  12. Using a serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  13. Arrange the slices, cut-side down, back on the baking sheet.
  14. Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  15. Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
