Preparation

Beat well eggs and sugar, then add flour and baking powder. Mince coarsely the almonds, then give the mixture the shape of a loaf. Bake it for 30 min at 110°CC. Once baked, cut them into slices. Bake again for 7 minutes at 90 degrees. Serve when cold.

Tips

The length of cantucci can be different, even if usually they are shorter than 10 cm. Arrange them into a can, so that they will be preserved longer.

Trivia

Cantucci comes from Latin "cantellus" which means piece or slice of bread. The famous Italian Accademia della Crusca, an ancient institution engaged into the study and preservation of the Italian language, defined these cookies as "sliced cookies made with flour, sugar and egg white".
