Ingredients
Measurements:
- 1⅔ cups (9 oz) all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup (1½ oz) ground almonds
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 stick (4 oz) unsalted butter
diced, at room temperature
- ¾ cup (5¼ oz) white sugar
- 3 lemons
zest finely grated
- ¼ tsp fine salt
- 3 large eggs
- 5 oz blueberries
Instructions
- 1Insert the wire rack into position 6. Set the oven to Bake, Convection, 355°F, for 25 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
- 2Place the flour, ground almonds and baking powder in a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
- 3Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar, lemon zest and salt until pale and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping the side of the bowl occasionally.
- 4Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold through the blueberries.
- 5Turn the dough out onto a floured countertop. Divide into two portions and shape each portion into a loaf, approximately 11-inches long. Place the loaves in the parchment paper-lined roasting pan, evenly spaced so there is room for them to spread.
- 6Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and cook for 25 minutes.
- 7The loaves should be golden brown. If not, cook them a little longer.
- 8Cool the loaves in the pan for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, adjust the oven to Air Fry, Super Convection, 300°F, for 10 minutes and press Start.
- 9Using a serrated knife, cut each loaf into approximately ¾-inch thick slices. Place half the slices, in a single layer, in the air fry basket.
- 10Place the basket in rack position 3 and cook for 10 minutes.
- 11The biscotti should be golden and feel dry to touch. If not, cook them a little longer. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining slices.
- 12Biscotti can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
