Directions

30 min.
1. Step

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a bakingsheet with parchment paper, a little trick I learned to prevent the biscuits from sticking to the pan and making an easy cleanup.

2. Step

In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients - flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. Step

In another bowl, whisk together the butter, eggs, vanilla essence, and lemon zest until creamy. A piece of advice, always have your ingredients at room temperature for better mixing results.

4. Step

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Gently fold in the mixture until the dough comes together.

5. Step

Once the dough is ready, add the sliced almonds. The almonds give a nice, crunchy texture and a beautiful look to the biscuits.

6. Step

Divide the dough into equal halves and with lightly floured hands, shape each half into logs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

7. Step

Bake the logs for about 15-18 minutes, or until light golden brown. Keep an eye on them after the 10-minute mark as oven temperatures can vary.

8. Step

After baking, let the logs cool for a bit before slicing into individual biscuits.

9. Step

Enjoy your homemade Italian Biscuits with a hot cup of espresso!
