Preparation

  1. Heat to 175 °C. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and zest. Stir in eggs and almonds; form a firm paste.
  2. Divide in half and shape two 25 x 6 cm flat spools on a covered plate. Cook for 22 to 25 minutes, until blonde.
  3. Let cool for 15 minutes. Cut 1.5 cm slices with a saw knife.
  4. Place the slices flat and cook for 8 minutes at 150 °C. Turn over and dry for another 8 minutes.
  5. Cool on a grill; biscotti become very crisp when cold.
  6. Mix the starch and 50 g of sugar with 100 ml of cold milk. Heat the remaining milk with the cream and vanilla; pour over the mixture and return to the saucepan. Stir in small broths for 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Divide into six glasses from 180 to 200 ml, with opening of 6 cm maximum, leaving at least 1.5 cm under the edge. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  8. Choose eighteen biscotti at least 7 cm long so that they rest on both edges of the glasses. Place three flat cookies side by side on each glass, just before serving. The other biscotti are served separately.
  9. Remove the central cookie from a cup and place it next to it to reveal the white cream. The biscuits are not raised vertically in the cream.

Preserve and Serve

Creams 48 hours in the refrigerator; biscotti 7 days in the dry, placed only at the service.
