Need a dessert to sweeten your holiday table? Try one of these recipes: 🍩 Sfenj (Moroccan doughnuts) 🥧 Sweet potato and pecan pie 🎂 Mini chocolate 'souffle cakes' with raspberries 🍪 Chocolate-dipped tangerine and toasted pecan biscotti
Make the pie crust: In the bowl of a food processor, whirl the flour, salt and sugar. Add the butter and pulse about 15 times, or until the butter resembles coarse cornmeal. With the motor running, add only enough water until the dough begins to come together and pull away from the sides of the bowl. Remove from the bowl, wrap in parchment or wax paper and refrigerate for at least an hour. The dough can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and frozen for 1 month.
Meanwhile make the glazed pecans: in a medium skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until sizzling but not brown. Add the pecans and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Drizzle on the maple syrup, stir well to coat all the nuts, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pecans to a sheet of wax or parchment paper, make sure they are separated and don’t clump up, and let cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and, using your fingers or a pastry cutter, blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse cornmeal. Bake on the middle shelf for 25 minutes, or until firm to the touch and just beginning to brown. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees. Let the biscotti cool for about 10 minutes.
