K. could not get enough and that made me happy- he kept saying one more please!<br /> <br /><br />Recipe adapted from <a href="http://houndstoothgourmet.com/double-chocolate-biscotti-with-toasted-pecans/">here</a><br />Double Chocolate Biscotti with Toasted Pecans<br /><br />makes about 2 dozen biscotti<br /><br />Ingredients<br /><br />2 cups all purpose flour<br />1/2 cup Hershey’s unsweetened dark cocoa powder*<br />1 teaspoon baking soda<br />1 teaspoon kosher salt<br />6 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature<br />1 cup brown sugar<br /><span style="font-style:italic;">1tsp of vanilla<br />1tb of pure mable syrup<br />1tsp cinammon</span><br />2 large eggs for batter<br />1 large egg lightly beaten for glaze<br />1 cup pecans, toasted and rough chopped<br />4 ounces (about 3/4 cup) rich milk chocolate, rough chopped**<br />Directions<br /><br />Heat pan over medium heat and add pecans. Gently toast pecans in dry pan, turning frequently. When the pecans become slightly darker, and give off a nutty odor, remove to a chopping board and give them a rough chop. This takes about 5 minutes. Do not leave unattended because the nuts can burn easily.<br /><br />Preheat oven to 350 degrees.<br /><br />Combine flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda in a bowl and mix to incorporate.<br /><br />In another bowl or standing mixer, cream together butter and sugar on medium speed, for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is creamy and yellow.<br /><br />Turn mixer on and add eggs one at a time. Mix until incorporated.<br /><br />With mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture slowly.<br /><br />Add pecans and chocolate and mix until incorporated.<br /><br />Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into a ball, and cut into 2 even halves. Roll each half into a 12 inch log and transfer each log onto a baking sheet that has been lined with a Silpat or one which has been buttered and floured.<br /><br />Gently flatten each log until 2 inches wide.<br /><br />Brush logs with egg wash, and gently score each log on the diagonal, into about 12 pieces each. This will help to cut the logs into individual biscotti after the first baking.<br /><br />Place baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 35 minutes. Allow biscotti to cool for 5 minutes.<br /><br />Transfer logs onto a cutting surface and cut into individual biscotti, about 3/4 inch wide. Place biscotti cut side down on baking sheet. Place back into 350 degree oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.<br /><br />Remove biscotti to cooling rack and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months.<br /><br />*Regular unsweetened cocoa powder can be used<br /><br />**Regular semi-sweet chocolate chips can be usedonesilentwinterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08458292042676805987noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510897696563873793.post-26185446354923096782009-01-06T10:58:00.009-05:002009-06-14T13:37:35.727-04:00a family recipe<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V1au4huIbYA/SWOI_V6kWII/AAAAAAAAGvw/9I6u6kmZM84/s800-h/DSC_4200.JPG"><img style="cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 366px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V1au4huIbYA/SWOI_V6kWII/AAAAAAAAGvw/9I6u6kmZM84/s800/DSC_4200.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288221009259026562" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V1au4huIbYA/SWODo9DVnKI/AAAAAAAAGvQ/RjhS8B7hJQQ/s800-h/DSC_4204.JPG"><img style="cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 366px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V1au4huIbYA/SWODo9DVnKI/AAAAAAAAGvQ/RjhS8B7hJQQ/s800/DSC_4204.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288215127069662370" /></a><br /><br />Since i was a little girl my family has made this "cake" it is called the one, two, three, four, five cake..based on the ingredients.(british courtship cake)<br />most of the time the topping would be apricot preserve my favorite, or apples. My grandmother would make this often, it was simple and quick. this is the kind of cake that you cat cut up into pieces and take on a road trip, in fact my aunt always sent us home from montreal with a container full. It is wonderful to me to see my niece and nephews embrace this cake as i did when i was young.<br /><br /> I had some plums that had gone to soft to just eat so i decided to make the cake/tart,I cooked the plums with some vanilla till it made a compote.<br /><br />1 teaspoon of vanilla<br />2 eggs<br />3 tablespoons of butter<br />4 espresso cups of sugar<br />5 espresso cups of flour<br />1 teaspoon of baking powder<br /><br />cream the butter and sugar together, then add eggs and vanilla. mix in flour a little at a time, till the dough becomes a ball. i used a 9 inch tart pan, but it really depends on how thick you want to make the cake.<br /><br />in a sauce pan i combined the plums and a tablespoon of vanilla and cooked over slow heat, then gently mashed it. let cool. then put plums over tart and put it in the oven at 350..for about 45 minutes or till done.<br /><br />* you can used any fruit preserves apricot is really good or fresh apples...onesilentwinterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08458292042676805987noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510897696563873793.post-30203918846956404952008-12-30T12:07:00.006-05:002008-12-30T12:55:59.001-05:00bark<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V1au4huIbYA/SVpVn1zr10I/AAAAAAAAGqA/PCa4pTssFTM/s1600-h/DSC_3784.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_V1au4huIbYA/SVpVn1zr10I/AAAAAAAAGqA/PCa4pTssFTM/s400/DSC_3784.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285631255619819330" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V1au4huIbYA/SVpXemXWv_I/AAAAAAAAGqg/WcJNYXoX2LA/s1600-h/DSC_3298.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_V1au4huIbYA/SVpXemXWv_I/AAAAAAAAGqg/WcJNYXoX2LA/s400/DSC_3298.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285633295878897650" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V1au4huIbYA/SVpVommP7zI/AAAAAAAAGqQ/4MOw3ajnPi0/s1600-h/DSC_3811.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V1au4huIbYA/SVpVommP7zI/AAAAAAAAGqQ/4MOw3ajnPi0/s400/DSC_3811.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285631268716801842" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V1au4huIbYA/SVpXeQuwu7I/AAAAAAAAGqY/DbAKOALCQ4Y/s1600-h/DSC_3296.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_V1au4huIbYA/SVpXeQuwu7I/AAAAAAAAGqY/DbAKOALCQ4Y/s400/DSC_3296.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285633290071489458" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V1au4huIbYA/SVpVoTJqqQI/AAAAAAAAGqI/6_YVnyoQ9ro/s1600-h/DSC_3809.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_V1au4huIbYA/SVpVoTJqqQI/AAAAAAAAGqI/6_YVnyoQ9ro/s400/DSC_3809.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285631263496644866" /></a><br /><br /><br />my niece and nephew and i had fun making this, we went overboard with the candy canes!
