Introduction

Confession time: even I, like many of you, once found the idea of making biscotti a bit daunting. I didn't know if I could get that wonderfully crisp, flavoursome result from a home bake but this Easy Orange and Macadamia Biscotti recipe could not be simpler. The taste and texture are wonderful - they really are pure, homemade joy!

A Taste of Home

Growing up in a Parsi family, tea and biscuits are woven into our DNA and during the holiday season, my Mum Dad and hubby love nothing more than to couple these delicious, crunchy bites with a hot cup of tea - ah heavenly! I should warn you, if you make these, you will most likely get requests for a second batch to be made immediately.

This particular recipe is credited to Barb Northwood. I found this recipe in a stash of old magazine clipping I used to collect and now I am sharing it with you because it really is THAT good!

Tips for Success

• A stand mixer simplifies the process.

• Experiment with different nuts or add chopped naked ginger for a delicious alternative.

• Apply a bit of oil to the kneading attachment to prevent sticking.
