Инструкции
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter and flour an "insulated" cookie sheet.
- In a food processor, using the metal chopping blade, combine the flour, oatmeal, sugars, grnd ginger, baking pwdr, and salt. Process in on/off pulses till blended. Add in the butter. Process in on/off pulse till the mix forms coarse crumbs.
- Scrape the flour mix into a large bowl. Using a rubber spatula stir in the pecans and crystallized ginger.
- Break the whole Large eggs into a measuring c. with a pouring spout. Add in the egg yolk and beat with a fork, till blended. Remove 2 tsp. of the egg mix and set aside in a small c. to use later as egg wash. Add in the vanilla to the egg mix in the measuring c. and stir till blended.
- Make a well in the center of the flour/ nut mix. Add in the beaten egg/vanilla mix and using a rubber spatula, stir till the mix starts to clump together. Using your hands, form the mix into a ball.
- Scrape the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and with your hands pat the ball into an 8-inch disk. Cut the disk into 4 equal wedges.
- With lightly floured hands, gently roll each quarter into a 12-inch log. Carefully place the logs on the prepared cookie sheet at least 2-inches apart. Flatten slightly with the heel of your hand to the width of 1 1/4 inches. Lightly brush the logs with the reserved egg wash.
- Bake for 25 to 35 min, till the logs start to brown and bounce back when gently pressed with a finger. Set the cookie sheet on a wire rack and cold the logs for 20 min.
- Position one rack in the top third and another rack in the bottom third; reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
- With a long metal cake spatula, carefully transfer the logs to a cutting surface. Using a sharp, finely serrated knife, cut the logs on the diagonal into l/2-inch thick slices. Place the biscotti standing up, l/2 inch apart on two ungreased "insulated" cookie sheets.
- Bake an additional 15 to 25 min, till the biscotti are dry and the sides begin to color slightly.
- Halfway through baking, switch the positions of the cookie sheets for 5 min. Transfer to wire racks and cold completely. Store the biscotti in an airtight tin in a cold, dry place for up to two weeks.
- NOTES :Note: To lightly roast pecans, position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spread the nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 8 to 12 min, shaking the pan 2 to 3 times during roasting, till the nuts are fragrant. Transfer the nuts to another baking sheet to stop the cooking process and cold completely. Using a large, sharp knife, cut the nuts into halves.
