The Aproneers Biscotti - A Crunchy Creation from The Gifted Ingredient

I have just created this crunchy little biscotti for the Aproneers lookout for it when you order a coffee in store. A sweet Pistachio, Cranberry and Chocolate crunch.




 What you need....


2 cups plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp dutch cocoa 
3/4 cup castor sugar
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup pistachio nuts
1 1/2 tbsp orange zest
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
 




Make it happen....


1. Biscotti is quick and uncomplicated to make, simply mix the dry ingredients and add the eggs, mixing to form a dough. 
2. Kneed well on a floured surface and shape into logs.
3. Bake at 160c for 30 min. 
4. Give the biscotti a tap, if it sounds hollow it's ready. 
4. Cool on the trays. 
5. Slice thinly using a bread knife, lay each piece on a baking tray and return to the oven for a further 6 minuets.
Cool on trays, store in an air tight container for up to one week.  






Yum, so crisp and thin this is perfect beside the moorish coffee at the Aproneers.
