Cantucci

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 170 g sugar
• 280 g AP flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda/powder
• 40 g softened butter
• 70 g almonds
• 1 orange
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 yolk for eggwash

Mix eggs and sugar (do not cream them). Mix flour and baking soda. Mix the two. Add butter, almonds, orange peel and honey. Work the dough quickly and make a ball. Divide into two, roll into two cylinders (3-4 cm diameter, they will puff up considerably). Apply eggwash. Cook at 190 C/374 F for 20 minutes. Rest for a few minutes. Slice 1 cm thick slices, cook for 5-7 more minutes into 200 C/392 F oven.

Note

Maybe more orange and almonds, and less sugar?
