Today Neo and I made biscotti (bis means twice cooked), I got the recipe from Tessa Kiros cookbook 'Twelve' they turned out really good and I let them oven dry all afternoon.
Your scones look wonderful. I've been wanting to try making some.

ReplyDeletelovely finds here :-) I especially love the swap cards.
ReplyDeleteLovley loves...those biscuits looks so good!
ReplyDeleteAlso rushing around here non-stop lately...waiting for some quiet time :) xx
I made biscotti a while back and they were delicious - they kept really well (months actually) when kept in an airtight tin, and were the perfect accompaniment to a cup of coffee or a sumptuous hot chocolate. Bliss!
ReplyDeleteThe books look fantastic, my mum has all of mine stashed at her house, hoping I'll have children to pass them on to. I definitely couldn't part with them, especially not "The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry and the Big Hungry Bear" which was one of my favourites!
You've been getting more lovely work done. You are so good at everything that you do. Very creative, and I enjoy seeing it all.
ReplyDeleteI love biscotti, especially one I buy here that has a bit of orange in it. I've never tried baking it myself. I should give it a try!
Thank you for being such a good friend to my blog. I appreciate it!
Mum used to make biscotti all the time, and seeing your lovely results makes me want to try and make some too.
ReplyDeleteOoh Anastasia, what lovely finds! Gorgeous books and cards!

ReplyDeleteThis biscuits are also called Cantuccini (or Cantucci) in Italy. And they are really delicious! :)
