When it comes to Italian food, some dishes are way more famous than others: gnocchi, pesto, pizza, pasta for sure but also sweet treats like tiramisù or biscotti. Traditional Italian biscotti. Simple and great tasting – I’m sure it will quickly become one of your favorites. Biscotti di Prato, or cantucci — to give them their full name—come from Prato in Tuscany.

A staple in households across Mexico, this works best if you have a cast-iron or sauté pan that fits the tortilla, or you may use a griddle.
