Ingredients
- 1¾ cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup walnuts chopped
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 ounces white chocolate
- ½ teaspoon maple extract
- 1 tablespoon half and half
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and chopped walnuts. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the wet ingredients into well. Stir until the dry ingredients just come together. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until dough comes together. Divide dough into two pieces. Form each piece of biscotti dough into a 12" x 1½ long log shape and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Turn oven temperature down to 325.
- Transfer cooled biscotti to a cutting board and using a serrated edge knife, cut biscotti into 1½" thick slices at a slight diagonal. Place slices cut side down on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer leaving space between the biscotti. Return to oven and bake 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven, carefully flip the biscotti to the opposite side and bake 5 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a microwave safe small bowl, melt white chocolate with the half and half and maple flavoring in the microwave in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar 1 tablespoon at a time and stir until thick enough to coat a spoon without running off. Use more or less sugar if needed.
- Allow the maple glaze to dry completely before storing.
