Ginger Pistachio Biscotti image

This recipe is dedicated to ChrisseyO who sent me a bag of totally awesom, addictive "Wildbite" Ginger-Pistachio Biscotti I have now made this recipe 3 times and it gets better each time, This time I substituted roasted pumkin seeds for the pistachios - excellent result and what a cost saving plus not having to crack all those pistachios. The pumkin seeds made the recipe a bit drier.but still great texture & flavor.

Time 1h5m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar (or 1/4 cup Splenda with 1 Tablespoon Molasses)
3 large eggs
3 teaspoons orange zest
1 cup natural pistachios, coarsely chopped
1 1/4 cups preserved gingerroot, diced (1/4" dice)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350F, butter and flour a cookie sheet.
  • Mix flour, Baking Powder and salt, stir well, set aside.
  • Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, add one egg at a time and beat after each addition Stir in the orange zest, pistachios and ginger.
  • Stir in the flour a bit at a time, make sure it is evenly mixed in.
  • Your dough should easily hang together but be pliable.
  • Divide the dough in half and shape each piece into a log approx 1/2" high 2" across and about 14" long (Do not have the log too thick or too wide or the biscotti will not dry enough) Bake for 25-30 minutes- They will be almost golden on top and cooked through Turn oven down to 300F.
  • Cool logs for apprx 12 minutes.
  • Cut them across into 1/2" slices, place them on the cookie sheet with a bit of space between slices Return to oven for a further 15 minutes, turn off oven and let the biscotti sit in the cooling oven.
  • The biscotti should be dry in the center of the slice Cool completely and place in an air tight container- They keep well in the tin but you may freeze them if you wish.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscotti turned out really dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but these biscotti were still really good. The pistachio flavor really shines through.

I was disappointed with these biscotti. They were too hard and didn't have much flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the biscotti came out great. They're crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, just like I like them.
