Yeah. And I never got that either. My Aunts are always so happy to get together to make biscotti. And I have to chomp on it and pretend I like it. I guess it never dawned on them that I never asked for the recipe.
True biscotti are supposed to be very dry, because they’re intended to dunk into coffee. I have had seen products called “biscotti” that are more like crumbly cookies and were good to eat by themselves, but I think this form isn’t traditional. Butter (or any fat) would certainly make a product more tender.
Yeah, they're normally baked twice, but when I make biscotti I only bake it once so it stays a bit chewy in the middle. Sure, it keeps for longer if you bake it twice, but it might break your teeth as well...
