This is one of many variations of biscotti that Oliveto prepares in its pastry kitchen. They are served both in the restaurant and in the downstairs cafe.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold shopping list
- 1 cup sugar shopping list
- 2 extra large eggs shopping list
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt shopping list
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder shopping list
- 2/3 cup pistachios, toasted and roughly chopped shopping list
- 2 tablespoons sultana raisins, chopped shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
- Cut cold butter in 1-inch cubes.
- In a large electric mixer, mix the butter with the sugar on the lowest speed until it becomes a smooth, stiff paste.
- Do not beat in any air.
- Add the eggs one by one, beating only until smooth.
- Sift together the dry ingredients and place them into the mixer bowl with motor turned off.
- Mix on the lowest speed until smooth.

- Place logs on parchment-lined sheet tray.
