Yield Makes 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon anise extract or Sambuca
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
4 ounces dried figs, (about 6 large), stems removed, cut into 1/4-inch dice

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small pan over medium-low heat, toast fennel seeds, swirling the pan; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, extracts, and zest, and beat on medium speed until creamy and light, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Add to butter mixture. Mix on low speed until just incorporated. Remove dough to a clean surface; divide into quarters. Form into 9-by-1-inch logs, place on an ungreased baking sheet 2 inches apart, and bake until lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, and cool slightly. Reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees. Using a serrated knife, cut logs on the diagonal into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange biscotti on their sides on a baking sheet. Return to oven, and bake until golden, about 30 minutes. Turn biscotti over, and bake for 30 minutes more.

Yield 40 ea

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 t. of anise seeds
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 t. vanilla extract
1 t. of anise extract
1 t. grated orange zest
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
4 oz. dried figs, cut into 1/4 inch dice with stems removed. Note* It's alot easier to pulse your figs in a food processor, just make sure to leave them chunky like the size of a pea, and make sure you snip off the tips of your figs first, they tend to be really hard and inedible

Steps:

  • **Heat oven to 350 degrees. **With your mixer, beat butter and sugar on medium-high until smooth, about 2 minutes. **Add eggs, extracts, and zest, and beat until creamy and light. **Combine dry ingredients together, then add to the butter mixture, add the figs and the nuts last. **Mix everything on low speed until incorporated then remove dough and divide in half. **Form two 9×2 inch logs, place on parchment lined baking sheet apart from each other, and bake until lightly browned (25 to 30 minutes). **Remove from oven, and let them cool down, you can't cut them when they're hot they'll crumble. Using a serrated knife, take your time and slowly cut logs into 1/2″ thick slices. **Arrange biscotti on their sides on the baking sheet. Return to oven, and bake until golden, about 10-15 minutes. Turn biscotti over on the other side and bake for another 10-15 minutes more, or until desired crispiness. Cool on racks. Makes around 40
