Almond and Raisin Biscotti image

Anne Burrell's biscotti are nicely buttery and crisp-tender, not rock hard. And there's no better pairing than the anise and orange that she adds to the dough.

Time 1h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 orange, zested
2 large eggs plus 1 egg white
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch fine salt
1/2 cup whole blanched almonds, toasted
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 tablespoon anise seeds
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
Coffee or Vin Santo, for dipping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and granulated sugar and beat, with a whisk or hand mixer, until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides periodically. Add the orange zest and beat in the
  • whole eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Gently mix in the flour, baking powder and salt. Once the flour is incorporated, fold in the almonds, raisins and anise.
  • Divide the dough into two pieces. If the dough is sticky, dust your hands with a little flour. Roll the dough into two logs the length of a sheet tray and place on the tray. Beat the egg white with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush the logs with the egg white and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Bake until dark golden brown, slightly crisp around the edges and still a bit soft in the middle, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven to a cutting board and slice on the bias with a serrated knife while they are still warm. Slicing while warm will prevent crumbling.
  • Lay the biscotti back on the sheet tray(s), cut-sides down, and return to the oven until a little more golden around the edges, another 10 minutes. This will harden the biscotti but not make them like rocks.
  • Remove from the oven to a serving platter and serve with coffee or Vin Santo for dipping.
  • Biscolicious!

Categories     Bakery Goods

Time 1h15m

Yield 24 biscottis

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon McCormick® Ground Cinnamon, divided, plus 2 teaspoon
2 large eggs
¼ cup whole milk
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Make the biscotti: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, combine the room temperature butter, granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour in the milk and beat until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and beat on low speed until just combined.
  • Divide the dough in half and place one portion on each prepared baking sheet. Shape each into a 3-inch wide, 8½-9-inch long flat log. Refrigerate the dough on the baking sheets for 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the baking sheets to the oven and bake until the logs are lightly browned around the edges, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, 30-35 minutes, Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks and let the logs cool for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
  • Carefully transfer each log to a cutting board and, using a serrated knife, slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices. Return the slices to the baking sheets, cut-side up, spacing evenly. Brush the slices on both sides with melted butter.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the turbinado sugar and remaining 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Sprinkle over one side of the biscotti.
  • Bake until the biscotti are light brown around the edges and dry, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, 15-20 minutes. Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks and let the biscotti cool to room temperature before serving. Leftover biscotti will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 5 days.
  • Enjoy!
