Biscotti are traditional Italian twice-baked biscuits, known for their characteristic dry, crisp texture and long shelf life. The dough is shaped into logs and baked once before being sliced diagonally and baked again until firm and golden. They can be prepared with classic additions such as almonds or raisins, giving each biscuit a pleasant contrast of texture and flavour. Traditionally enjoyed with coffee or tea, biscotti are especially associated with the Italian tradition of dipping crisp biscuits into a warm beverage.

Scones are delicious baked goods, often served with cream and jam as part of a traditional cream tea. Originally from Scotland, they are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The term “scone” originally referred to a round, flat, unleavened cake cooked on a griddle and cut into triangular wedges, known as a “bannock.” In Scotland, the terms are often used interchangeably.

Scones are lightly sweetened and typically served with clotted cream and strawberry jam, though there are many variations, including savoury versions.
