  1. Hello, you have a wonderful channel, interesting videos. Let's be friends. Come to my channel, I will be glad to friendship. Good luck in the development of the channel

  2. I just tried a recipe very similar but no milk, no butter, 2 eggs and it was so difficult. I had to throw out half my almonds because they just wouldn't incorporate, the dough was dryyyyyy and super difficult to cut after the first cook. Definitely trying this one next time! Cheers

  3. Are cantucci and biscotti the same thing?
    I have made biscotti countless times and this recipe is really similar. Plus the dough is baked twice, second time after slicing.

  4. Can I please have the imperial measurements for this recipe? I'm having a hard time converting these measurements. Thank you
