Servings 40 biscuits

Ingredients

  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¾ cup almonds
  • ¼ cup dried figs, roughly chopped
  • 2 teaspoons chai tea, finely ground and sifted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 100 g dark chocolate, melted, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
  2. Sift the flour and baking powder together in a bowl. Add sugar, almonds, figs, ground tea and cinnamon, and stir together. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well to form a dough. Divide the dough in two. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead each piece until smooth. Shape into logs and flatten slightly.
  3. Place the logs on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely. If not completely cool, it will be crumbly when you slice it. Cut the logs into 5mm thick slices with a serrated knife and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the biscotti are crisp. Cool completely.
  4. When biscuits are cooled, drizzle with the melted chocolate on a baking paper lined tray until set. If the weather is warm, you may need to refrigerate them briefly. Store in an airtight container and serve with a cup of tea or coffee.
