PISTACHIO, CRANBERRY AND ORANGE BISCOTTI

130g golden caster sugar
50g salted butter, softened
Zest of 陆 orange
2 medium eggs, lightly beaten
100g pistachio kernels, roughly chopped
100g dried cranberries
Pre-heat the oven to 150C /Fan 130C
Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
In a mixer, beat the sugar and butter until creamed together. Slowly beat in the eggs until fully incorporated and add the orange zest. Turn the mixer down to low speed and add the flour gradually and then the baking powder. Once the flour has incorporated, briefly mix in the pistachios and cranberries with a spatula.
Dust your hands with a little flour before shaping the dough into tow 4cm-wide logs and transfer to the lined baking tray. Bake for 30 minutes until risen and pale golden. Transfer to a wire rack and when cool enough to handle, slice into 1cm-thick slices, using a sharp serrated knife. Turn the oven down to 120C/Fan 100C. Line a second baking tray with baking paper and arrange the biscuits between the trays. Bake again for 30 minutes turning over halfway through. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely before serving.
