Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbsp. lemon zest
  • 2 cups flour all-purpose (250g)
  • tsp. baking powder
  • 60 g pistachios coarsely crushed
  • ¼ tsp. salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 165°C (325F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, sift and mix flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
  • Place sugar in large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with with paddle attachment. Add eggs, one by one, and mix on medium speed after each addition. Add lemon zest and mix to combine.
  • Add dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in pistachios using a spatula. Do not overmix.
  • Cover and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight)
  • Scoop half the dough mixture onto one side of the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Form the dough in the shape of a log. If dough is too sticky, sprinkle with some flour until manageable. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form an equal-sized log on the other side of the baking sheet.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 35 minutes (until lightly golden). Bring out of the oven and allow to cool for around 10-15 minutes.
  • Place baked logs onto a cutting board. Slice the logs in a sawing motion using a sharp/serrated knife (straight or diagonally) into ½-¾ inch thick biscotti.
  • Transfer sliced biscotti, sliced side up, back onto the baking sheet. Bake for another 15-25 minutes until dried and centers are slightly golden brown. Transfer to cooling rack to cool completely. Biscotti will harden as they cool.
