Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Sift together flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in bowl. Beat brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and lemon zest with electric mixer 5 minutes, or until tripled in volume. Beat in flour mixture. Stir in lemon juice, then pistachios.

3. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Slice warm logs with serrated knife into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Lay biscotti slices flat on baking sheet. Bake 8 minutes. Turn biscotti with spatula, and bake 7 to 10 minutes more, or until golden brown on both sides. Cool on wire rack.
