Carluccio's Biscotti di Polenta (Polenta Biscuits)

I've had some Polenta in my store cupboard for a while and have often not known really what to do with it to make it interesting. I've made savoury Polenta before, but never anything sweet with it. So here is what I did! This recipe is from The Two Greedy Italians eat Italy cookbook (see bibliography for details) by Antonio Carluccio and Genaro Contaldo, a surprisingly mushroom-free recipe from the two. I have not made biscuits since I was little, so I followed this recipe closely for once! As I did I shan't write the whole thing down, as I think that's against the law. But my review is that the piping of the biscuits into disks was difficult, so mine ended up resembling Ameretti biscuits more! Very nice with a cuppa however, and a nice light afternoon snack. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, so the small size went nicely with an afternoon tea break and were a good compliment to Paddy's bait. Needless to say, about 30 biscuits were eaten within a week! Ingredients involve: polenta, sugar, lemon zest, plain flour, butter and eggs.

Lovely with a cup of tea or coffee!
