Best Praline Cornbread Biscotti Recipes

HOLIDAY BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl to blend. Using an electric mixer, beat the sugar, butter, lemon zest, and salt in a large bowl to blend. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Add the flour mixture and beat just until blended. Stir in the pistachios and cranberries.
• Form the dough into a 13-inch long, 3-inch wide log on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until light golden, about 40 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes.
• Place the log on the cutting board. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the log on a diagonal into 1/2 to 3/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the biscotti, cut side down, on the baking sheet. Bake the biscotti until they are pale golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the biscotti to a rack and cool completely.
• Stir the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the chocolate melts. Dip half of the biscotti into the melted chocolate. Gently shake off the excess chocolate. Place the biscotti on the baking sheet for the chocolate to set. Sprinkle with the sugar crystals. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 35 minutes.
• The biscotti can be made ahead. Store them in an airtight container up to 4 days, or wrap them in foil and freeze in resealable plastic bags up to 3 weeks.

MAPLE PRALINE CORN BREAD BASKETS

Steps:

• 1. Because we were so poor growing up, my mama always found economical ways to fill us up, bread was always a staple at every meal, as in the Beans and corn Bread or peas or beans & corn Bread. Biscuits for breakfast. We would pour the liquid over the corn bread and let it soak in and then add the chopped onions peppers or what ever vegetable mama used over the cooked vegetables. This is what the pan looked like that I made the corn Bread baskets in. It is called Short cake Basket pan. It would also be great for short cakes or Chili. I ordered it from Amazon.
• 2. Some of the ingredients used for the recipe.
• 3. Add all ingredients to a medium size bowl, & beat together till blended. Additional ingredients. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• 4. Spray pan with non stick cooking spray.
• 5. Fill basket pan with corn bread mixture leaving about half inch from top.
• 6. Bake in preheated 425 degree F. oven for 20 minutes, till golden brown. Then remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes then invert onto plate or platter. Corn Bread did not form a crown, which worked out great.
• 7. FILL AS DESIRED. This is what I filled the baskets with my collard greens and Tomatoes onions and peppers in Vinaigrette Dressing. I have already posted the vinaigrette dressing recipe, all the others will be posted soon as well, including the French Onion-Irish Stout Chuck Roast. You could fill the corn Bread baskets with chili, and top with shredded cheese, sour cream and chopped green onions, or do a dessert instead. Many possibilities.

PRALINE CORNBREAD BISCOTTI

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350°F. Coat the interior of a 9- by 13-inch glass baking dish with baking spray. Combine the cornbread mix, sugar, and pecans in a large bowl. Add the eggs and vanilla, and mix with a large fork until the dry ingredients have been moistened (if the batter is crumbly, add a little more egg or a teaspoon of milk). Scrape the batter into the dish and flatten into an even layer, using a spatula or the back of a wide wooden spoon. Bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. Cover with a cutting board, invert, and remove the pan. Let cool for 15 minutes. Cut the cake in half lengthwise, scoring the surface with a serrated knife and then cutting through with a straight-edge knife. Cut each half into 15 to 16 rectangular strips. Return the strips to the pan, setting each on one of its narrow sides, like dominoes. You might have to make a second layer to fit all of the biscotti in the pan. Return to the oven to bake until golden brown and crisp, about 25 minutes more.From Homemade In A Hurry. Text copyright © 2006 by Andrew Schloss. Cover photograph copyright © 2006 by Noel Barnhurst.
