Ingredients (20) :

Biscotti:

  • 50 g butter

  • 0.25 g saffron

  • 0.75 dl sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 2.5 dl wheat flour

  • 0.5 tsk baking powder

  • 0.5 dl pistachios, chopped

How to:

Turn the oven to 175˚C.

Melt the butter in a small pan, add the saffron and pour it into a medium sized bowl and let it cool down a bit. Add the egg and sugar and mix well.

In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder and pistachios then add the dry mixture to the wet one. Mix until a nice soft dough forms. Divide into two parts, and roll them out to two 20cm logs and put them onto a parchment covered baking sheet. 

Bake in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes. Then take them out and let them cool down for the same amount of time. 

Lower the temperature to 100C. 

Cut the logs into 1.5 cm thick slices, and put them back onto the baking sheet. Dry the biscottis in the middle of the oven for about 1 hour, turning them over half way through.
