Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender
• 1/2 cup almonds, chopped
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Stir in the dried lavender and chopped almonds until evenly distributed.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the honey, eggs, almond extract, and sugar until well combined.
5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
6. Shape the dough into a log about 12 inches long and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden, then remove and let cool for 10 minutes.
8. Once slightly cooled, slice the log into 1/2 inch thick pieces and place them back on the baking sheet, cut side down.
9. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until crispy and golden. Let cool completely before serving.

Notes

Tip: Ensure you use culinary lavender, as other types may not be safe for consumption.

For best results, make sure to finely chop the almonds to ensure even distribution throughout the biscotti. If you don’t have lavender, you can substitute it with a teaspoon of vanilla extract for a different flavor profile.

Store the biscotti in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. They also make for a great gift when wrapped in clear cellophane with a pretty ribbon!
