This past November, my fellow Innkeeper, Jennifer Dunn from The Franklin Victorian Bed and Breakfast in Sparta, Wisconsin and I went on the Lanesboro Inn Christmas Tour in Lanesboro, Minnesota. They were all very delightful and full of decorating ideas.
One of our favorite Inn’s on the tour was the Hillcrest Hide-Away B & B. We commented on the array of plates filled with the different flavors of Biscotti’s served with Cider Wassail. Marv and Carol Eggert were great hosts and kind enough to share the recipes with us.
Last week Jennifer visited Amil’s Inn Bed and Breakfast and we managed to make 5 different Biscotti recipes. For those who don’t know, a biscotti is an Italian cookie baked twice and served with something hot. They are commonly dunked in the hot coffee, tea or hot cider to soften them a little before eating. What makes the biscotti special is the white or chocolate coating on one end which makes them delicious to enjoy with friends and family.
Here is one of the recipes:
