Makes 24 biscotti
Ingredients
- 250g plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 150g caster sugar
- 100g chopped pistachios
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 100g dark chocolate, melted
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas mark 5. Combine the flour, baking powder, caster sugar and pistachios in a bowl. Add the eggs and mix into a stiff dough.
Step 2
Divide the dough into three pieces and form into log shapes – about 4cm wide and 2cm high. Place on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, cut crossways into 1cm slices using a serrated knife.
Step 3
Return them to the baking sheet in a single layer and cook for another 15 minutes until golden brown and dry.
Step 4
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before dipping the biscuits into the melted chocolate and leaving them to set on a wire rack.
