For Tuesday with Dorie this week, I made Fruit and Four-Grain Biscotti.
Dorie made these cookies as a "scavenger" cookie to use up what she had in the house, so I did the same. Instead of kasha, I used mixed nuts. Instead of wheat germ, I used LSA. The fruit that I used was dried apricots.
I thought these biscotti might end up tasting too healthy, but no - they were delicious. The dried apricots added a nice hit of moisture, and the other ingredients worked really well together. I am not a big fan of standard biscotti, but I really liked these.
To see what everyone else made this week and what they thought of it, visit the LYL section of the TWD website.
I really like these as well. It is a very forgiving recipe.
ReplyDeleteI love scavenger cookies or ones that use up bits and pieces in the house! And like you I thought they'd be healthy tasting but bonus that they aren't.
ReplyDeletei thought these were delicious, too! i don’t know if LSA is a “thing” in the US...i may have to try to make my own sometime.
ReplyDeletedried apricots and lsa sound like a delicious combination
ReplyDeleteWhat is LSA? I loved these because they weren't too sweet but they did still kinda taste healthy. I also loved the idea of using up what you have on hand! My kinda recipe!
ReplyDeleteHi Mardi, it is a mix of ground linseed, sunflower and almond.
