Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 pistachios
- 1/2 pecan (pieces)
- 280 gr all purpose flour
- 110 gr sweet butter
- 50 gr sugar

------------------------------IRWIN E.SOLOMON-----------------------------Preheat oven to 180ºC On slowest mixer speed,combine all ingredients but the butter,eggs and the anisette.Slowly add the softened butter in bits,mixing well.Add the eggs and the anisette and knead for about 4 minutes. Press dough into logs 9 cm wide by 38 cm long by 3 cm thick.Do not roll the dough,since rolling creates air pockets.Make sure that the ends are the same thickness as the middle.Place the logs on a non stick baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes.Let cool.Slice the logs into 1 cm pieces and bake again at 180ºC for 8 minutes,until very light browned.Makes 24 biscotti.
