How do you make biscotti less crumbly?

After biscotti are baked once, allow them to cool for about 20 minutes. Too much longer, and they will become too hard to slice. When slicing biscotti, always use a serrated knife in a sawing motion, which reduces crumbling. Place sliced biscotti on their sides back on the pans for the second baking.

Is biscotti dough supposed to be wet?

Biscotti dough is sticky, so lightly oiled or wet hands make it easier to shape and transfer the dough to the baking sheet. Cut while warm.

Why do my Pillsbury biscuits always burn on the bottom?

That Pillsbury stuff uses hydrogenated cottonseed oil. Use a insulated "cookie" sheet and bake the cookies higher up in the oven. Your oven is likely heating from the bottom and your cookie sheet is too close to that heating element.

Can you cook biscuits on tin foil?

Ultimately, the scientific reason you should never bake cookies on a foil-lined baking sheet is simple: The parts of your cookie dough that come in direct contact with the foil are exposed to more concentrated heat than the rest of your cookies, thanks to aluminum's natural conductor properties.

Is using aluminum foil bad for your health?

Aluminum foil isn't considered dangerous, but it can increase the aluminum content of your diet by a small amount. If you are concerned about the amount of aluminum in your diet, you may want to stop cooking with aluminum foil. However, the amount of aluminum that foil contributes to your diet is likely insignificant.
