I made Jake and some friends raisin-almond biscotti before I left for the University of Minnesota for a week of research. They're very tasty!
Recipe (borrowed and just slightly modified from a recipe a recipeland):
3 eggs
1 1/2 c sugar
1/3 c butter
1 c sliced almonds
1/2 c golden raisins
1 T lemon juice
1 1/2 t baking powder
After you mix the yolks, 1/2 the sugar called for, the butter, lemon juice, raisins and almonds, then mix separately the egg whites and the rest of the sugar, and then finally mix the baking powder with the flour in a third bowl. Then fold the flour mix and the egg-white mix into the larger bowl, 1/3 at a time. You then shape the dough into two logs, bake them on a greased cookie sheet for 20-25 at 325, then let them cool so you can slice them into breakfast-cookie sized pieces. Then you bake each side for another 5-7 min. Drizzle with chocolate if you desire:) I used Lindt white chocolate.
Some with chocolate, some without:
