Hello friends,
It is biscuit week on the Great British Bake Off, therefore my bake of the day is biscotti. The name biscotti means twice baked, and they are ideal to have with a cup of tea or coffee, whether you are a dunker or not.
I have chosen a classic pistachio and chocolate combination, but the nuts can be substituted for different flavours and you could throw in some dried fruit for a bit of a twist.
Ingredients:
2 eggs
100g caster sugar
250g plain flour
1/2 teaspoon bicarb of soda
20g chopped pistachio
50g dark chopped chocolate
Zest of 1 orange
Method:
Preheat your oven to 180C/ 160C fan assisted. Line a baking tray with non stick parchment.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until fluffy and bubbly. Sift over the flour and bicarb and add in the nuts chocolate and orange zest. Fold together until well combined.
Roll out into a log shape, approximately 3 centimetres thick.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cut the log into 1cm thick slices. Reduce the oven heat to 160C/ 140C fan assisted. Put the biscuits back into the oven for 7 minutes, then turn the biscuits oven and bake for a further 7 minutes until crisp. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack, then enjoy with your favourite hot drink.
