Name: Anise-Almond Biscotti
Yield: Makes about 3 Dozen
Ingredients: 3 1/4 cups all purpose flour; 1 tablespoon baking powder; 1/3 teaspoon salt; 1 1/2 cups sugar; 10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, melted; 3 large eggs; 1 tablespoon vanilla extract; 2 teaspoons aniseed, ground; 1 cup whole almonds, toasted, coarsely chopped; 1 large egg white

"Biscotti have become very popular recently, but my mother-in-law, Helen, has been baking them for years," says Janet Mercuri of North Royalton Ohio. "Now that I've started using her recipe, friends tell me that my biscotti taste just like their grandmothers' —and I'm not even Italian."

These have a subtle anise flavor and would be nice with a caffè latte.
