I made these Biscotti and they are really good, easy and healthy so I thought perhaps some of you guys might want to make them too
You can replace the pumpkin seeds with any nuts/chocolate you want and you can remove the citrus if you want too (but it is good
)
Mandarin, Lemon and Pumpkin Seed Biscotti
Remove rind (with no pith attached) and thinly slice from citrus to total aprox 1/4 cup (I used 3 small mandarins and 1 lemon)
1/4 cup of juice
1/4 cup of raw castor sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup of raw castor sugar
2 cups of plain flour
1 1/2 cups of nuts ( I used pumpkin seed, although I would have used almonds and dark choclate chips if I had them)
Put Rind, juice and sugar(small amount) in a saucepan, and simmer til the rind becomes transparent.
Beat 2 eggs and sugar til thick, when the rind is finished, slowly beat the syrup and rind into the egg mixture.
Add flour and nuts, stir til mixed. Knead a couple of times to ensure it is together. (the mixture is sticky)
Shape two even sized logs on a baking tray. Clean you hands and with them just damp, smooth the surface of the logs. (I covered the top of mine in demerera sugar for a nice crunch)
Bake in 170C oven for 25 mins til firm. Remove and allow to cool. Slice into 1 cm slices. Bake at 130C for 25 mins til golden on both sides.
To Serve: A fresh coffee, 1 freshly peeled mandarin and a couple of biscotti. Yum!
