An easy walnut biscotti recipe that anyone can make! These thin biscotti with walnuts are crispy, low in calories, last for ages and can be turned into a gift!
Day 1: Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit (180° Celsius).
In a medium bowl (that holds at least 2-quart/1.9-liter of liquid), whisk egg whites with sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in sifted flour until you get a nice smooth batter and you can’t see any egg whites.
Next, stir in walnuts. Pour this mixture into a loaf tin lined with baking parchment. Bake for about 35-40 minutes at 350° Fahrenheit (180° Celsius) until golden brown and hard to touch.
When ready, wrap in aluminum foil and let it cool down completely. Chill in the fridge overnight.
Day 2: Preheat the oven to 200° Fahrenheit (100° Celsius).
Take the loaf out from the fridge and cut it into 1/8-inch (0.3-centimeter) slices. Place them onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment and bake for 45 minutes or until dried out and golden brown.
Let them cool off completely.
Store in an airtight jar/container on your kitchen counter or in your pantry.
Enjoy!

Notes
In the post above this recipe card, you can find ideas on how to use leftover egg yolks.
Powdered sugar (US) = Icing sugar (UK).
Make sure not to use a heaped cup. 1 cup or slightly less than a cup of flour is the perfect amount. All-purpose flour (US) = Plain flour (UK).
Make sure not to use old walnuts. Somewhen not stored properly can turn rancid and you will taste it in biscotti. For that reason, taste one or two walnuts before using them to make sure they are good.
Use a sharp knife to cut them – a long serrated knife works best if you have such on hand.
They will last for weeks when stored properly.
