The holidays are just around the corner. Biscotti is the perfect homemade gift! This recipe can be made with your favorite ingredients. I made this one with pistachios and craisins. —Chef Laura at Home
Ingredients
-
2 cups
all purpose flour
-
1 1/2 teaspoons
baking powder
-
3/4 cup
sugar
-
1/2 cup
{1 stick} unsalted butter, room temperature
-
1 teaspoon
grated lemon zest
-
1/4 teaspoon
salt
-
2
large eggs
-
3/4 cup
pistachios, coarsely chopped {optional}
-
2/3 cup
craisins {optional}
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Whisk the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl to combine, set aside.
-
Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar, butter, lemon zest, and salt on medium speed just until combined, add the eggs one at a time. Switch to low speed, add the flour mixture and beat just until blended. Gently stir in the pistachios and craisins.
-
Form the dough into a 13-inch long, 3-inch wide log on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until light golden, about 40 minutes. Let the biscotti cool for at least 30 minutes.
-
Cut the log on a diagonal into ½ inch thick slices using a serrated knife. Arrange the biscotti {cut side down} on a baking sheet, bake about 10-15 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely.
