How to Make Pistachio Fig Biscotti
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the Sambuca.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the chopped figs and pistachios.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide.
- Place the log onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
- Using a serrated knife, slice the log diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Let the biscotti cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
