After reading several other reviews I decided to give this recipe a try. I have always made the Bisquick recipe but now I will never go back to that type of short cake again. I followed the recipe exactly, I just happen to have half and half and frozen butter on hand. The frozen butter is a little tricky to shred in the box grater as I was trying not to cut my fingers! I did the butter 2 tablespoons at a time and then mixed it in the flour mixture, that keeps the butter from lumping. They baked up BEAUTIFULLY, delicate golden brown and crispy crust. I too only used the shortcake part of the recipe. I agree with another reviewer, you could cut these in eight biscuits and not notice the difference but I am sure you will want a second helping. They are awesome and I plan on just trying the biscuit with coffee in the morning and trying them with other fruit such as peaches. If you had 6 stars I would definitely give the recipe all SIX! GREAT recipe!!

I have tried many Biscotti recipes and none seemed to turn out as good as my late mother in laws. This recipe is actually easier and much better taste. Works great with pecans too. Raylene Italiano Ellwood City, PA
