Biscotti are wonderful little nibbles that provide a wonderful accompaniment to a variety of occasions, from elevenses, the casual beverage or afternoon tea. They also provide a good medium for many other dessert accompaniment such as lemon posset and similar "dippy" style desserts like ice cream, and chocolate mousse.
Theyre perfect this time of year, because they fit the profile along with many other sweet and naughty but nice treats that we all indulge in during the festive period.
You will need:
250g of flour
65g of coco powder
1 Teaspoon of baking powder
100g of chocolate buttons
150g of pistachio nuts
Blend the above into a mix
Then take...
100g of softened butter
225g of soft brown sugar
2 eggs beaten
Cream the butter and sugar
Add eggs slowly
Fold in the first mix to form dough
Rest for 20 minutes
Cook in a lined tin for 30 minutes at 180 degrees or until knife comes out clean
Allow to cool then slice into fingers when cold.
Most importantly enjoy!
