I’m in the middle of midterm week right now so I didn’t think I’d have time to make the recipe this week. However, I have been Queen of Procrastination all week. So yay biscotti.
Gretchen of Canela & Comino chose Dorie’s Lenox Almond Biscotti. I have a favorite almond biscotti recipe (that is very similar to my beloved Starbucks Vanilla Almond Biscotti) so I didn’t think Dorie’s recipe would be too exciting. BUT, the cornmeal – as strange as it sounds – made the biscotti. These were incredible. Even my “biscotti is only for snooty coffee drinkers” husband liked them!
For the recipe, visit Gretchen’s blog and then visit the blogroll.

I am glad you enjoyed these and even that your husband didn’t turn up his nose at them! And i am glad they helped you procrastinate a bit too!

I have to agree, I thought the cornmeal was a strange ingredient, but I think it “made” the biscotti, too. I am coming to trust the ways of Dorie, even when I think I know better.
Your biscotti look very yummy – I hope they give you some comfort as you suffer through your midterms.

I love your mug, too! I loved the cornmeal in these, too. Glad they were a hit with you and your husband. Best wishes for surviving midterms — whether you are giving the tests or taking them!
