Gluten-free almond biscotti

These were lovingly created as a response to customer requests for a gluten-free option. Using gluten-free flour, these biscotti may be the dream come true for those with gluten-sensitivities. They are NOT certified gluten-free.

Baking with gluten-free flour can prove to be a frustrating task. When I first started experimenting with this, both the flour and the almonds were causing the biscotti to fall apart when I attempted to cut them. I was using the same rough-cut almonds (that I personally put through the food processor) for the original almond biscotti. Even though I know some customers don’t mind broken and small biscotti, I wanted to perfect the result as much as I could. So I tweaked the recipe a bit and switched to almonds that were diced. This did the trick (for the most part), as the knife doesn’t get caught up on a chunk of almond and make the biscotti crumble.

Ingredients: Gluten-free Flour (sweet white rice flour, whole grain brown rice flour, potato starch, whole grain sorghum flour, tapioca flour, xanthan gum), almond flour, sugar, butter, eggs, almonds, baking powder, corn starch, almond extract.
