Going back to Pandoras recipe recently, quite a few of the posts were
saying something about the biscotti not being the hard crunchy type they
are used to.

Here's a recipe that will give you that rock hard biscuit you desire.

Secret........ it's twice baked.

Scroll down the page.......

To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one.
It is rather and endless struggle
that will go on to the very last moment of our lives.
Nobody is born a warrior,in exactly the same way that
nobody is born an average man.
We have to make ourselves into one or the other.
A warrior must only take care that his spirit is not broken.

You probably mean crisp rather than hard. Try baking them slower, or
substitute cornstarch for some of the flour.

Mine are usually so hard, they make great dippers into coffee. Just for a sec, mindja.

I'll have to get onto the DoD and see how the hell they made the 'Survival
biscuits' and 'Cereal block' for the ration packs back in the 70's.

You could have used either of those "biscuits" to replace ceramic plates in
body armour!!

Yeah. The name biscotti comes from Italian words which mean "cooked
twice." There's no secret about it.

Aye, different countries take different meanings which can be most
confusing
