An Italian Cooking Class

Last Tuesday, my class and I went to an Italian cooking class instead of our regular class! It was way yummier than my usual class.

Abbiamo cucinato la pappa al pomodoro, le patate arrosto, l'arista ed i biscotti di prato (i cantuccini).

It was all AMAZING!!! For me, the cantuccini was the best part! I've never had it right out of the oven like that. I definitely ate what some people might consider to be "too much." I'm including the recipe here. We got to keep all of the recipes and even our aprons!

I BISCOTTI DI PRATO

Ingredients:

300gr. flour
150gr. sugar
150gr. whole almonds
3 eggs
vanilla
baking powder (quanto basta)
salt

Instructions:

Make a mound with the flour, sugar, almonds vanilla and baking powder; add the eggs and mix with hands. When well combined, make small loaves and place on a cookie sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, cut into the typical diagonal biscotti shape and return to the oven until toasted.
