Friday Food (Biscotti and photos for Round Theme)

Easy Biscotti

4 cups of flour

2 tsp baking soda

1 cup of sugar

1 cup of grape seed oil (or vegetable oil – do not use butter they will crumble)

4 large eggs

2 tsp of almond oil (or vanilla)

1 1/2 cups of sliced almonds

Topping can be melted chocolate, frosting, nut cream, etc. 

Preheat over to 350 

mix flour and baking soda and set aside

Mix oil, sugar, eggs and almond oil (use a wooden spoon because tradition says it mixes with more flavor this way) 

Slowly add the flour mix until dough is formed. 

Roll into logs and bake (at 350) until halfway or a little done. 

Cut into slices and bake some more – (maybe use a cooling grill to get them even toastier0

Let cool and add toppings.

They do not have preservatives to freeze after a few days.

It’s time for a Triple Shot Friday.

And while I cannot do every challenge that I would like to, this post connects to the Round and Shiny themes that are rolling around and lighting up the blogosphere this week.

1. Asian Pin:

 

2. Round nougat cookies on a shiny plate.

This used to be one of my step-daughter’s favorite cookies, made my Archway.

 

My son is grabbing one of the Archway nougat cookies – and this was not staged, he saw me snapping the photo and reached in – but was joking – and I went with it…

 

3. Mango, biscuits, and apple tart:

My older son taught us how to properly cut a mango… (see left photo)
