"Adapted from a recipe in the Odense almond paste archives, these biscotti are addictively good: crunchy and crisp with a slight bend and chew in the center thanks to the use of butter and almond paste. With plenty of kick from candied ginger and a hint of citrus zest, they're delicious dunked in milk...."
