Post by: trudy on February 02, 2016, 04:22:54 am
I found this recipe on "mythermonixrecipes.com" where I was attracted by the photo.  I have made several batches and have changed the recipe just slightly.  They are very moorish!

ALMOND,CRANBERRY & APRICOT BISCOTTI

Heat oven to 160C

300g plain flour
1 & a half teaspoons baking powder
100g brown sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Rind of 1 Orange, grated
50g dried cranberries
50g dried apricots ( just need to slice them into 3 pieces)
120g whole almonds

Place sugar into TM & mill 10 secs, speed 8

Add eggs, vanilla & rind.  Mix 3 secs, speed 4

Add flour, baking powder, mix 40 secs, interim speed (bread)

Add dried fruit & almonds - mix for a few secs REVERSE & interim speed (bread)

It will be quite sticky so place onto a floured sheet.  Using floured hands halve the dough and roll into 2 logs.
Flatten each log slightly.

Place both logs onto a tray lined with baking paper & bake 30 mins or until cooked through.  The top should be
Slightly browned.

Set aside to cool completely.

Heat oven to 180C

Using a serrated knife cut into 3mm thin slices & place on to baking trays.  The middle should be slightly soft.

I baked them for 6 mins then turned them, cooked again for 3 minutes - but do keep an eye on them as they burn quickly.
