Time 1h30m

Yield About 36 biscotti

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, more for dusting
1/2 cup turbinado, Demerara or granulated brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
1/3 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Remove 1 1/2 tablespoons of the egg to a small dish and reserve. Add vanilla to the rest. Make a well in center of dry ingredients, add egg-vanilla mixture and, using your hands or a large rubber spatula, work flour into eggs. It will be crumbly at first but will soon form into a soft dough. Allow to rest 10 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. On a lightly floured surface, flatten dough into an 8-inch square. Spread ginger and pecans on it, lightly pressing them in. Tightly roll up dough and cut it in two. Press and roll each piece into a log about 9 inches long. Place logs on baking sheet, brush with reserved egg and bake about 20 minutes, until firm to the touch and lightly browned.
  • Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes. Use a sharp, thin knife to cut logs at an angle into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Stand slices an inch apart on baking sheet and return to oven 15 to 20 minutes, until crisp. Cool completely before serving.
