Crispy, crunchy and incredibly dunkable – these Tuscan treats are the perfect accompaniment to any drink, hard or hot.
Deliciously crunchy and nutty cantuccini are the cheeky siblings of biscotti. With their rich marzipan, roasted almonds and dash of liqueur, they bring an extra edge to the traditional Italian biscuits. They’re at their very best when dunked in a glass of the Tuscan dessert wine, Vin Santo, although they’re almost as good with an espresso or cappuccino. Our recipe for a gluten free version of these almond biscuits lets you decide on the liqueur, but you can never go wrong with amaretto. When it comes to these biscuits, the more almonds the better. Your gluten free dinner guests will love them.
