Biscotto di San Martino are traditional Sicilian biscuits, which are prepared for the feast of San Martino di Tours on November 11.
Variants The biscuits are prepared in a hard version and a soft version.
The hard version consists of a dry biscuit, flavored with anise seeds, which is called tricotto because it is baked three times; traditionally, this type of biscuit is enjoyed soaked in wine.
