Linda's Once-Baked Biscotti

My sister developed this recipe and I made it for the first time last Christmas. The biscotti turned out great, despite the fact that I mistakenly baked them twice.

• Ready In: 1 hr 20 mins
• Serves: 24
• Yields: 2 dozen

Ingredients

• 2  cups flour
• 1 1⁄3 cups sugar
• 2  teaspoons baking powder
• 2  large eggs
• 1  teaspoon  grated lemon rind
• 1⁄4 cup anisette
• 1⁄4 cup rum
• 1 1⁄2 cups  whole raw  almonds

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients in order listed.
2. Grease and flour a cookie sheet.
3. Form the dough into a rounded loaf. If the loaf is a bit flat, it's no problem- just decrease the cooking time slightly.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
5. Slice loaf with a heavy knife. Don't worry if there is some crumbling as you slice. Once the loaf cools, the slices will firm up and stay together.
