Biscotti Obsession
Ended up that my biscotti became such a hit with men! The Hubby loved it (to my pleasant surprise) so much he had them for breakfast when I initially packed 5 slices for his supper at work, C’s husband loved it, and same goes for her colleague who was there for the movie night too.
Having received much positive feedback about the biscotti I baked, I decided to venture into more interesting flavours. After some casual discussion with The Hubby (who, no doubt, will happily be the main taster for the new flavours), I decided to try two flavours:-
- Hazelnut and dried Prunes
- Hazelnut and coarsely grated Peanuts
I actually wanted to bake some lemon zest biscotti, but The Hubby snorted at my suggestion. He isn’t really that keen on citrus fruits, quite unlike myself. Since I’ve had quite enough of biscotti to last me for a while, I decided to go along with his palate fully expecting him to finish them up for me, which I’m sure will turn out to be an awfully easy task.
If you ask me, I prefer the the hazelnut and dried prunes flavour. The prunes give the dry biscotti a very refreshing taste, and it works a lot better than dried raisins. The biscotti with grated peanuts somewhat pales in comparison. It tasted slightly better when I sprinked some icing sugar atop.
I wish I had more dried fruits or nuts at home to try out other flavours, but I’ve gotta make do with what I have at hand. The next time I get other nuts or dried fruits for other recipes will be the time when I revisit this trust biscotti recipe.
