Pistachio Biscotti
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (about 6 3/4 ounces)
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup dry-roasted pistachios, chopped
- 1/3 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon butter, divided
- 2 teaspoons grated orange rind
- 1 large egg
- Cooking spray
- 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- Combine juice and milk; let stand for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
- Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (through salt), stirring well with a whisk. Melt 2 tablespoons butter. Combine 2 tablespoons melted butter, milk mixture, rind, and egg in a large bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Add flour mixture, stirring until well blended (dough will be crumbly). Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 7 times. Shape dough into a 4 x 12-inch log on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
- Bake at 350u0b0 for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Reduce oven temperature to 325u0b0. Remove log from baking sheet; cool 10 minutes on a wire rack. Using a serrated knife, cut log diagonally into 24 (1/2-inch) slices. Place slices upright on baking sheet; bake at 325u0b0 for 20 minutes or until crisp. Remove from baking sheet; cool completely on wire rack.
- Combine remaining 1 teaspoon butter and chocolate in a microwave-safe dish; microwave at HIGH 30 seconds or until chocolate melts, stirring once. Pour chocolate mixture into a small zip-top plastic bag; seal. Snip a tiny hole in 1 corner of bag; drizzle chocolate mixture over cooled biscotti. Let stand 30 minutes.
