Pecan-Caramel Biscotti image

Biscotti is sturdy enough to take to a picnic, but elegant enough to serve at a buffet. This yummy version has the rich taste of caramel. Adapted from the King Arthur flour people.

Time 1h5m

Yield 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups pecan meal (or grind up pecans to a fine meal)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
6 tablespoons butter, soft
2 large eggs (use 1 whole egg and 1 yolk for the dough and save the remaining white for the glaze)
1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup caramel-flavored bits (or butterscotch chips)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*F.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, pecan meal, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  • Add the butter and mix until evenly crumbly. Beat in the egg, egg yolk and water. Add the chips and stir just until they're evenly distributed.
  • Lightly flour a clean work surface. Divide the dough into three portions. Working with one piece at a time, roll the dough into a log about 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining dough. Place the logs on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten slightly, leaving 2 inches between them.
  • Lightly beat the egg white with 2 teaspoons of water. Brush this glaze over the tops of the logs.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, until they're lightly browned. Remove from the oven, and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Slice them into 3/4-inch thick slices on the diagonal, place them cut-side down on the baking sheet, and return them back to the oven to bake for 10-15 more minutes, until they're crisp and lightly browned.
  • Allow to cool, then dip an end in melted chocolate, if desired.
  • Yield: about 5 dozen.

These biscotti didn't turn out well for me. I think I overbaked them.

I found that the biscotti were a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

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