Cantucci have a particular preparation and are excellent both in the morning and at the end of the meal with a good glass of Muscat or red wine.

How do we advise you to prepare them?

On a shelf mix sugar, eggs, lemon and orange peel, salt, vanilla; add the flour and baking powder and knead by hand for a few seconds.

Add the almonds, knead for a few seconds so that the almonds blend well with the dough; after this, divide the dough in half and with the help of a pinch of flour, make two loaves about 3 cm wide.

Arrange the loaves on a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake at 180 degrees for 15-18 minutes until the loaves swell and take on color.

Once cooked, let it cool for a few minutes and then, with a blade, cut the loaves into 1.5 – 2 cm thick pieces.

Once you have the cantucci, turn them over, put them back in the pan and cook for about 4 minutes per side, after which the cantucci will be ready.

Francesca's advice: do not serve them hot, wait a few minutes, and to keep them I recommend that you place them in a tin container or in a “frost” type envelope.

Generally, once stored, they should be consumed within 2 – 3 weeks.
