"Pavaroddy's Fig & Pecan Biscotti"
|
I'd never made any version of Italian Biscotti before, i.e. plain anise,
until I adapted this "for real men" recipe, an action packed product
loaded with flavor, fiber, and protein! Besides, it really
scored some points with the in-laws...
INGREDIENTS: 2--10 oz. Packages Mission Figlets 2--6 oz. Packages Chopped Pecans 6 Cups All-Purpose Flour 3 Tablespoons Baking Powder 4 Tablespoons Anise Seeds (or 2 teaspoons Anise Oil/Extract) 1/2 Teaspoon Salt 6 Large Eggs 2 Cups Sugar 2 Sticks Unsalted Butter, melted & cooled WHAT YOU DO: 1. Remove stems from figs and chop into bits (set aside) 2. Stir together flour, baking powder, anise & salt (set aside) 3. Beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, then stir in butter 4. Stir in flour mixture, then figs & pecans (dough should be stiff) 5. Shape dough into 6 flat logs 2 inches wide (3 in each "Pammed" cookie sheet) 6. Refrigerate for 30 minutes 7. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly browned 8. Cool for 20 minutes 9. Slice logs diagonally with sharp knife into 1/2 inch slices 10. Return to 3 Cookie Sheets (cut side down) 11. Bake 10 minutes at 325 degrees, turn slices over, bake 10 additional minutes VARIATION: Substitute Walnuts for Pecans ECONOMY TIP: Once again, save money by buying store brand pecans instead of the more expensive "Diamond" brand.
