Sharon123's Note:

Adapted from a kid's site, this looks so interesting! Popcorn biscotti? I haven't tried this yet, but posted to try soon! :)

Ingredients:

Yield: 3 dozen b ...

4. Sift together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
5. Stir flour mixture thoroughly into egg mixture.
6. Stir in popcorn and raisins, if desired. Dough will be sticky.
7. Spread a little flour on a work surface.

I feel it unfair to rate this recipe as I haven't have much luck with it I'm afraid. Two attempts have both been total failures and I fear that it probably has more to do with me than the recipe. My dough was terribly sticky both times,and upon baking just turned to rock. I'm sure that someone out there will turn out perfect biscotti from this recipe-just a shame that it couldn't be me...sorry Sharon. Made for Newest Tag.
