Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350ºF) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

   Tip: Whisk well to incorporate air and ensure even baking.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, cream together the butter and golden treacle until light and fluffy.

   Tip: Use an electric mixer for best results.

4. 4

   Gradually add the granulated sugar to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.

   Tip: Scrape down the sides of the bowl to prevent sugar from accumulating.

5. 5

   Beat in the large eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

   Tip: Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

6. 6

   With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

   Tip: Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense biscuit.

7. 7

   Fold in the chopped almonds and dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed.

   Tip: Use a spatula for best results.

8. 8

   Transfer the dough to the prepared baking tray and shape into a log.

   Tip: Use a spatula to create a smooth surface.

9. 9

   Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the biscotti is firm to the touch.

   Tip: Keep an eye on the biscotti after 20 minutes to prevent overbaking.
