This is my all time favourite Biscotti recipe. They really are easy to make, and the addition of pistachios and cranberries make them look really festive. You can change this recipe to suit your tastes, add any combination of dried fruit or nuts, just keep the quantities the same.
The reason I love Biscotti so much is that they last for ages. Well, they should, but in my house they don’t last very long!
