Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1-1/4 c. flour (preferably, unbleached)
1/2 c. sugar (preferably organic)
1/2 t. baking soda
pinch of salt
2 medium eggs (preferably organic)
2 T. orange peel (or 1/2 t. orange oil)
1/2 t real vanilla
1/2 t. anise seed
1 c. toasted, chopped hazelnuts

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1-1/4 c. flour, 1/2 c. sugar, 1/2 t. baking soda and a pinch of salt. In a smaller bowl, whisk together 2 medium eggs, 2 T. orange peel (or 1/2 t. orange oil), 1/2 t real vanilla and 1/2 t. anise seed. Stir this mixture into dry ingredients. Add 1 c. toasted, chopped hazelnuts and mix well. Divide dough in halves or thirds. Shape into logs on a well-floured surface. Transfer to a baking sheet that is lined with parchment or sprayed with Pam. Bake in a 300 deg. preheated oven for 20 minutes. Logs should be firm and very lightly browned. Cool at least 5 minutes, cut into 3/4" diagonal slices and return to oven, baking an additional 15 minutes. Cool on rack.

I love how versatile this recipe is. You can add different nuts, fruits, or chocolate chips to change up the flavor.

These biscotti were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.

These biscotti were really easy to make. I didn't have any oranges on hand, so I used lemon zest instead. They still turned out great!

I added some chocolate chips to these biscotti and they were amazing! The chocolate added a nice richness to the flavor. I will definitely be making these again with chocolate chips.

I made these biscotti with almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. They turned out great! They were still crispy and delicious, but they had a slightly nutty flavor.

These biscotti were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more liquid next time. Otherwise, they were very flavorful.

I've tried many biscotti recipes, but this one is by far my favorite. The orange and nut combination is perfect, and the biscotti are always crispy and delicious. I've even started giving them as gifts, and everyone loves them.
