Raisin Pecan Biscotti

Is it just me, or winter makes me slow? I guess I hibernate in winter.Lol! Well, no matter what, I can’t stop cooking or baking, and what can bring warmth more than a big mug of coffee and a sweet delight like my Raisin Pecan Biscotti.

Raisin Pecan Biscotti

When I want to be creative with Biscotti, I just think of the flavors I can add to a cookie or cake. Sometimes I don’t add any flavors to my biscotti, and just enjoy the natural buttery flavor.

However, today, and to be honest I made raisin and pecan biscotti, mainly because I was afraid the pecan might expire soon. Of course, you can add any nuts you like.

The dough is very forgiving, and is easy to work with, but in any case, if you think it’s little sticky, dust your hand with flour, then make a log out of the dough, and then press it down, no need for a rolling pin here.
