Posted for ZWT6 Scandinavian Region - Sweden. Oh boy does this sound heavenly. I can't wait to try it out. If you do not have biscotti you can process into crumbs they state you can use almond rusk crumbs, zwieback crumbs, or fine dry bread crumbs (even though I don't think I'd like the idea of bread crumbs - just my opinion).

1 1/4 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
