Sometimes you need something as simple as possible which is why recipes called ‘comfort food’ have such appeal. This biscotti is like that: it uses pantry ingredients, whips up in seconds and has a pure, simply crunch that is satisfying simply because it is sweetly …..basic. The orange juice adds its tang and also helps open up the grain of the biscotti so that it is crunchy but not dense. This is exactly the type of homey biscotti I would expect Nonna to serve.
