Name: Biscotti Di Prato #3
Ingredients: 2 1/2 c Plain flour; 180 g Whole almonds; 1 c Sugar; 2 Eggs; 1 pn Salt; 1 ts Baking soda; Little milk or beaten egg for glazing

One is struck with the personality of this text [Mt. 11:28]. There are two persons in it, 'you' and 'me'... Jesus says, 'Come to Me, not to anybody else but to Me.' He does not say, 'Come to hear a sermon about Me' but 'Come to Me, to My work and person.' You will observe that no one is put between you and Christ... Come to Jesus directly, even to Jesus Himself. You do want a mediator between yourselves and God, but you do not want a mediator between yourselves and Jesus... To Him we may look at once, with unveiled face, guilty as we are. To Him we may come, just as we are, without anyone to recommend us or plead for us or make a bridge for us to Jesus... You, as you are, are to come to Christ as He is, and the promise is that on your coming to Him he will give you rest. That is the assurance of Jesus Himself, and there is no deception in it... You see there are two persons. Let everybody else vanish, and let these two be left alone, to transact heavenly business with each other.

C.H. Spurgeon

Place the flour in a mound on a bench.  Make a well in the centre, put the
almonds, sugar, egg, salt and baking soda in the well and mix these
ingredients together.  Slowly mix in the flour, a little at a time.  Knead
dough until smooth.  Divide dough into 4 pieces and roll each piece into a
long strip, about 1.25 cm in diameter.  Place the strips on a greased
baking sheet about 5cm apart. Brush with the milk or egg wash and bake in a
pre-heated 350F oven for 30 minutes until lightly browned.  Remove from the
oven and slice the strips into 2cm slices.  Return the biscotti to the oven
and bake for 10 minutes or until they are golden brown.  Store in an
airtight container. They keep quite well for a couple of weeks. Makes
several dozen.
Use a serrated knife to slice the biscotti or they won't slice properly.
