Traditional Milanese biscotti meneghini in Milano

Biscotti meneghini are simple butter biscuits tied to the domestic and pastry-making traditions of Milano. Made with essential ingredients — flour, butter, sugar, and eggs — they have a crumbly yet compact texture designed for long storage. Their shape is usually regular, often round or slightly oval, and their golden color comes from the generous use of butter. The flavor is delicate and lightly spiced, typical of Lombard pastry-making, where the quality of the ingredients matters more than decoration. They are often presented in tin boxes or elegant bags, making them easy to carry as a gastronomic souvenir of the city.
