Spark of Inspiration

In December, I really wanted to make biscotti, specifically with anise seeds. Unfortunately, all stores were out. I went to quite a few. People must bake with anise seeds for the holidays, lesson learned, buy early next year!

Suddenly, it’s January and anise seeds are back! Imagine my joy! So, I got to work and baked some biscotti.

I liked this recipe from The Clever Carrot. She uses anise extract, I used both extract and seeds as I like a stronger flavor. They came out nicely.

I used butter; however, there were recipes that used oil. Next time, I’ll give oil a try, curious to see how the texture will change.

I had saved this Costco / Kirland container, it came in handy for my biscotti. They look store bought in it.

Winter is the perfect time for baking, it reminds me of my childhood.

Happy Baking -> everyone!
