Pecan Recipes

​

Maple Pecan Biscotti

2          cups pecans, coarsely chopped and toasted

2          large eggs

1/2      cup of granulated sugar

1/2      cup of dark brown sugar, firmly packed

1/4      cup maple syrup

1           teaspoons, maple flavor (kingarthurflour.com)

1/3       cup unsalted butter, melted

2  1/2  cups unbleached flour

2          teaspoons baking powder

1/2      teaspoon salt

2          tablespoons maple sugar, for topping

​

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast pecans by spreading them in a single layer on a baking sheet and baking for 10 minutes until golden brown.

​

Beat together the eggs, sugars, maple syrup and maple flavor.

​

Add melted butter, beating till smooth.

​

Mix in flour, baking powder, salt, then nuts.

​

Divide the dough in half on a sheet of wax paper. Place on parchment-lined 10x15 baking sheet. Using your wet fingers, shape each half into a rough 10" rectangle, about 4" wide and 1/2" thick. Smooth the top and sides of rectangles. Sprinkle the top of each rectangle with 1 teaspoon of maple sugar.

​

Bake the biscotti dough for 30 minutes at 350. Remove from the oven, and cool for 10 minutes; cooling the dough allows you to cut it more easily, with them crumbling.

​

Use a sharp chef's knife or serrated knife to cut the baked dough, slightly on the diagonal, into generous 1/2" thick slices. Place the slices close together on prepared baking sheet. If you can balance them upright, so much the better; you won't have to turn them during their second bake. 

​

Bake 20-25 minutes until sides begin to brown. Makes 3 dozen 4-6" biscotti.
