Add a photoSimple biscuits with a Piedmontese excellence: hazelnuts
Ингредиенты
- 200 g shelled hazelnuts
- 250 g all purpose flour
- 80 g sugar
- 50 g unsalted butter
- an egg
- a tsp baking powder
Инструкции
- Chop finely the hazelnuts (but not like an hazelnut flour) and leave them aside. Now separate the egg white from the yolk and beat the egg white until stiff; leave it aside.
- In a bowl mix butter (at room temperature) and sugar; then add the yolk and, finally, carefully incorporate the egg white.
- Now add the flour, 150 g of hazelnuts (we'll use the rest as a garnish) and a tsp of baking powder. Mix well and then strain the mixture over the pastry board, knead briefly (if it's too hard, add some milk; if too soft, add some flour): you'll get a mixture similar to pastafrolla (so very easy to crumble).
- Now wrap the ball of dough in cellophane and place it in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, take the dough out of the fridge and, in the meantime, heat the oven to 356°F (180°C).
- Now roll the dough out to 5mm thick and cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters (I used a liqueur glass, because I wanted small, round cookies).
- Place the cookies on a baking tin lined with parchment paper and sprinkle them with chopped hazelnuts (50 g should be more than enough). Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown (be careful not to burn the hazelnuts, which is not so difficult).
