These biscotti have a great taste. But I had problems with the dough. It was too thick. You said 1 tbs of milk if needed. I used it. But I think I added 2-3 tbs more. Cause it was so hard to mix all together. After that, the result was great. But I cooked it longer to have them golden. Thanks Dundra :) Made for PAC Spring 2010
