Amazingly delicious Almond & Port Biscottis. Excellent with your morning coffee or following a delicious meal with friends.
Ingredients
115g almonds, raw, no skin
225g butter
2 egg yolks
2-3 oz Porto (or Cognac or Ouzo)
350g flour
4 cloves, crushed (or 1/4+ tsp ground cloves)
100g sugar

- Using a food processor crush almonds. Do not over crush
- Using some of the butter saute crushed almonds in a frying pan until brown

- Place flour, almonds and cloves in a large bowl and mix together
