Filbert (Hazelnut) and Honey Biscotti

By: Lucy Romano • In: Cookies • Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients

  • 16 oz Flour
  • 16 oz Hazelnuts (shelled)
  • 8 oz Powdered Sugar
  • 3 and 1/3 oz Honey
  • 3 Eggs
  • 2 tsp Baking Soda

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2:

Shell filberts and spread on a baking dish. Toast nuts in oven for 10 minutes and while still warm rub them together in a dish towel to remove as much of the brown skin as possible. Cut nuts in quarters and set aside.

Step 3:

Put flour on a board and make a well in the center. Place the sugar, honey, eggs and baking soda into the well. Combine with the flour a little at a time until all the flour is incorporated. Kneed dough until elastic.

Step 4:

Spread dough with your hands into a circle about 1/4 inches thick. Spread nuts all over dough and pat in. Fold dough over itself (jelly roll style) and pat in more nuts. Continue until all nuts have been incorporated into dough.

Step 5:

Divide dough into 4 pieces. Form dough into sausage rolls about 14 inches long. Place rolls on greased baking sheets and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 – 20 minutes or until firm and golden brown. Remove from oven; slice the rolls on the diagonal 1/2 inch thick and let the biscotti cool. These biscotti keep well in a tightly covered tin. Yield: Total of 80 Biscotti.
