Pecan-Caramel Biscotti Recipe

Name: Pecan-Caramel Biscotti
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 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)

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 350*F.
2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, pecan meal, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
3
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.
4
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.
5
Lightly beat the egg white with 2 teaspoons of water. Brush this glaze over the tops of the logs.
6
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.
7
Allow to cool, then dip an end in melted chocolate, if desired.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
