Hazelnut Biscuits Crackers Recipes

Steps:

• half pound hazelnuts, two ounces each of powdered sugar and unbleached or whole wheat flour, three eggs, juice of one lemon, rind of one lemon, one teaspoon honey.
• Grind the hazelnuts to a fine four in a blender, food processor, or clean coffee mill. Combine with the sugar, mixing well until a paste is formed. Then stir in the flour, again mixing very well. Beat the eggs; add lemon juice and rind, then beat the honey into the mixture. Fold all ingredients together into one solid mass. Take teaspoon quantities of the mixture and drop onto a baking sheet greased with butter. or Roll out and cut into a cracker shape Bake in a slow oven (350 degreesF) until the biscuits are hard and crisp.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line 2 large baking sheets with baking parchment. Toast the hazelnuts in a dry frying pan, then grind in a food processor or mini chopper until roughly ground. Mix together the flour, sugar and ground nuts. Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks, then fold into the dry ingredients with the vanilla.
• Drop tsps of the mixture, spaced apart, onto the lined baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 mins until just starting to colour. Let cool for 10 mins, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack. Store in a tin for up to 3 weeks.

Steps:

• Blitz 85g of the hazelnuts in a food processor until ground. Cut the rest of the hazelnuts in half.
• Pulse the ground hazelnuts, butter, flour, cheddar, ½ tsp salt and the egg in the food processor a few times. Don't pulse for too long - you want the mixture to look like breadcrumbs rather than coming together in a ball. Tip the mixture onto a large piece of cling film and, using the cling film to shape it, mould it into a ball, then leave in the fridge for a couple of hours.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pull off chunks of the dough - about a tablespoon at a time - and roll each piece into a ball. Place on a baking sheet and flatten each biscuit to around 3.5cm across, leaving room between each one. Push 3-4 hazelnut halves into each biscuit. Cook for 10 mins, or until the biscuits are golden brown. Leave to cool on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack. Will keep for up to three days in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast until golden and fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Pulse in a food processor until just finely ground (do not grind into a paste).
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add flour, ground hazelnuts, and salt; beat until dough forms. If needed, drizzle in 1 to 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to help form a dough. Dough can be wrapped well in plastic and refrigerated up to 1 day or frozen up to 3 months (thaw in refrigerator before using).
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls and transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Press balls with tines of fork to flatten. Bake until edges are golden, rotating sheets halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer sheets to a wire rack and let cookies cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
