“Biscotchos” are the most popular biscuits in the Ottoman Sephardic home. They are slightly sweet, fragrant with fresh orange and topped with cinnamon and sugar. Twisted ropes of dough are shaped into bracelets and twice- baked to ensure their crispness. They are so addictive to munch on anytime of the day. “Biscotchos” store well in an airtight tin and are a wonderful staple snack to have at hand. We customarily dunk them in Turkish coffee or any hot beverage. Make some over weekend, you won’t regret it ! See recipe “Stella’s Sephardic Table “ page 250
