Biscotti with Nuts
- 1 x vegetable oil
- 1 cup flour, all-purpose plus extra for pan
- 1/2 cup walnuts toasted
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts (filberts) toasted
- 1/2 cup cake flour whole wheat
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 x salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar dark, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest grate fine
- Lightly oil a baking sheet and dust it with flour, tapping off excess; set aside; In a food processor or blender, grind half the nuts until they are coarse meal but not powder; chop remaining nuts coarsely.
- In a large bowl, sift together flours, baking soda and salt; stir in brown sugar with ground and chopped nuts.
- Using a smaller bowl, beat together 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk, reserving the second white; stir in vanilla and zest; make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour in egg mixture and mix thoroughly; dough will be stiff.
- Preheat oven to 375~F; shape dough into three 18"-long, 1/2 inch thick ropes; arrange the ropes on the baking sheet and brush them lightly with the lightly beaten reserved egg white.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Cut the ropes into diagonal slices about 1/2 inch wide; Rearrange on baking sheet, reduce oven heat to 225~F and bake them again for 20 to 30 minutes or until the biscotti is crisp and browned.
- These cookies will keep well in a tightly closed tin.
- To toast the nuts, spread on a pie plate and toast in a 350~F oven for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until they are lightly brown and fragrant.
- Rub hazelnuts in a clean towel to remove any loose bits of hull; cool.
