Note: This is a story about a newborn fawn who happened to be caught in the May 28 flash flood and separated from its mother. The story took place in Bluffton, but the Icon thought it might be of interest to Ada Icon viewers.
On Sunday the Bluffton Icon posted a photo of a newborn fawn discovered in an unnamed Bluffton location. In that story we revealed that Bambi was alone, and curled up in some greenery.
We concluded that:
1 - Bambi was an orphan, or
2 - Bambi's mother left the fawn with plans to return later.
Viewers of this column understand I really like to dunk things I bake in coffee (or milk). And, in my opinion, biscotti was made for dunking.
After developing a hankering for this toast-like cookie with a long shape, I priced a box in the grocery and decided to make my own for lots less the cost. This assumption was correct. It’s inexpensive to make and one recipe produces lots more than the small box on the grocery shelf.
Making biscotti yourself enables you to customize the flavor. Here’s the Icon Biscotti recipe. Get the coffee ready (or milk). As always, we’ve lowered the sugar content from most recipes you’ll find for this snack.
