How to make
Mix the sifted flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Separately, beat 2 eggs and 1 egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of water and the vanilla. The liquid and dry mixtures are combined.
The nuts are blanched and baked in the oven at 360°F (180 °C) for about 10 minutes. Once cool, add them to the mix along with dried fruits. The resulting dough is divided into 2 parts and made into rolls with a thickness of 1 1/4″ (3 cm).
Smear the rolls with egg white and put them in a tray with baking paper in the oven for about 20 minutes. Remove and cut the cantuccini into thin slices, then put to bake again for 10 minutes.
