This recipe came from Italy when my great grandmother immigrated to the USA from Italy. This is her original biscotti recipe, easy, inexpensive, it and tastes utterly fantastic. About 10 years ago we sold these biscotti logs and paid for a trip to Brazil for my mother. How's that for "frugal living"? You only need to bake this recipe once, not twice.
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix sugar, eggs, vanilla, and soft margarine first. Add salt and baking powder to the mixture. Next, add flour and mix well. Add almonds.
Roll into a log shape and bake on a prepared baking sheet. Try to flatten out the log before baking, so that the center is not too high. Bake for about 20 minutes.
May be frozen to use later.
