Yield Makes 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup whole-wheat flour (spooned and leveled)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
3/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 teaspoon anise seed, chopped
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest (from 1 large orange)
1 cup coarsely chopped dried Calimyrna figs (6 ounces)
1 cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flours, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and anise. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until they're pale yellow and hold a ribbon for 1 second when whisk is lifted, about 5 minutes. Whisk in zest.
  • Fold egg mixture into flour mixture until combined. Fold in figs and walnuts. Lightly spray a parchment-lined baking sheet with cooking spray. Divide dough in half on parchment. Spray hands with cooking spray; form each piece of dough into a 2 1/2-inch-wide log. Bake until dough is firm but gives slightly when pressed, about 25 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack and let logs cool 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees.
  • Cut each log on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices; place slices, cut side up, on sheet. Bake 7 minutes, flip biscotti, and bake 7 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

These biscotti didn't turn out well for me. I think I overbaked them. They're too hard.

These biscotti are a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I found the dough to be a little too sticky. I had to add a little more flour to get it to come together.

These biscotti are a bit dry, but they're still tasty. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

I'm not a big fan of walnuts, so I substituted pecans instead. They turned out great!

These biscotti are a great way to use up leftover figs. I always have a few extra figs on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.
