Appenzell Hazelnut Tart

The town of Appenzell and its surrounding two half cantons are a land of dairy farms, excellent cheese and traditional pastries and honey cakes. This hazelnut tart is more like a breakfast cake than a dessert tart, but it’s delicious nonetheless. The best way to chop’ hazelnuts is to place them on a Swiss roll tin and rock a small saucepan back and forth over them to crush them.
