Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a sticky dough forms.
Fold in the poppy seeds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Lightly flour your hands and shape the dough into a slightly flattened log about 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Place the log on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the log is firm and lightly golden on top. Remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
Using a serrated knife, carefully cut the log on a slight diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
Place the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, flip the biscotti, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until dry and crisp.
Transfer the biscotti to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
