INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6/200 &deg;C/400 &deg;F.
2. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast lightly in the
oven, then chop them very roughly.
3. Beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy, then fold
in enough flour to make a soft paste that will just hold its shape.
Gently fold in the remaining ingredients. Spoon the mixture onto a
greased baking sheet in 3 long sausage shapes measuring about 5 x
25cm (2 x 10 inches) not too close together. Bake in the oven for
10-12 minutes or until risen and golden.
4. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and cut each biscuit roll
diagonally into thin slices about 1cm (1/2 inch) thick. Spread them
out on the baking sheet and return them to the oven for a further
8-10 minutes or until hard.
5. Leave the biscuits to cool, then store in an airtight container.

NOTES : Originating in Prato, a city near Florence famous for its
early baking and trading establishments, these hard, crunchy biscuits
are usually eaten after dinner dipped into small glasses of Vin
Santo, a strong honey-coloured wine a little like sherry, but made
from dried rather than fresh grapes.
