Biscotti 12.11.13

This is the recipe from Gisslen, but I accidentally added about twice the proper amount of salt.  L  I weighed the salt in grams, but I forgot that my scale is inaccurate with small gram measurements. The cookies lost all their sweetness and staled very fast (in about a day).

5 oz eggs

9 oz sugar

0.25 oz (7.5 g) salt  (about 1 ¼ t)   Taste the egg mixture.  Maybe this is too much salt? Try only ¼ t next time.

1 t vanilla

1 t orange zest

14 oz pastry flour

0.35 oz (10 g) baking powder (about 2 rounded t)

5 oz blanched almonds

Whip eggs, sugar, salt over simmering water until eggs are light and fluffy.  Mix in flavoring, then stir in dry ingredients until just combined.  Mix in almonds. Form into logs and egg wash. Bake 325 about 30 minutes or until light golden.  Slice diagonally when cool.
