Crisp, nutty and delicious, these Orange and Walnut Biscotti are bound to impress! Biscotti are little Italian biscuits that are usually made with almonds but I make mine with walnuts – just my personal preference, I love walnuts! I think these are the perfect way to end a meal: serving coffee or tea and a biscotti on the side.
If I’m hosting a dinner party, I always bake a batch of these in advance as a classy sweet treat to finish a special evening. This recipe is very easy to follow and makes enough for a group of friends, plus more for you to snack on over the next few days! And of course, these are easy to customize – why not try a lemon zest and almond version? Or crushed cardamom and pistachio?
To make the Orange and Walnut Biscotti, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 340°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and baking powder.
Add the eggs one at a time, stirring into the flour mixture until a dough forms.
Add the chopped nuts and orange zest and stir until evenly distributed.
Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Gently knead the dough for 1-2 minutes, then divide into two. Roll each section of dough into a log about 10 inches long. Lay the rolls on the baking sheet.
Bake the rolls of dough for 25 minutes.
Take the rolls out of the oven and leave to cool for 1-2 minutes. Then slice the rolls into biscuits about 3/4 inch thick and lay them out on the baking sheet.
Put the biscotti into the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes until turning golden brown. Turn each of them over and bake for a further 5-7 minutes.
Take the biscotti out of the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
