Almond and Chocolate Biscotti 意式杏仁和巧克力曲奇
Recipe adapted with slight changes from Ready For Dessert by David Lebovitz

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups (350g)  all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup (200g) sugar (i used 160g)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
7 ounce (200g) bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate,chopped into 1/2 inch or 1.5cm chunks (i use semi-sweet chocolate chips)

To Do:
1. Preheated oven at 350F (175C) Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Mixed flour and baking powder together.

3. In a stand mixer, fitted with whip attachment, whisk eggs, sugar and vanilla on medium speed until thickens and holds its shape, about 5 minutes.

4, With a rubber spatula, stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture, then stir in the almonds and chocolate. (chocolate chips)

5. On a lightly flour work surface, divide the dough into half. (i added 30g of dried cranberries to one half of the dough) Using dampened hands , shape each half into a log 3 inches (8 cm) in diameter. Set the log lengthwise on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spacing them apart. Dampen hands and smooth the surface of the logs.

6. Bake until the logs are lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Remove from baking sheets and let it cool for 15 minutes. Decreased oven to 150C.

7. Transfer the logs to a cutting board. With a serrated bread knife, cut each log diagonally into slices 1/2 inches (1.5cm) thick. Place the cookies, cut side up, in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake until biscotti is firm about 20 minutes. Flipping midway through baking. Let cool completely, they will continue to firm up as they cool.

Storage: The biscotti will keep up to 1 week in a air tight container.

This one i added dried cranberry
这个加了蔓月莓干!


Enjoy~

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
