Hazelnut Flour

Hazelnuts are deliciously nutty, are a great source of oil, and make a wonderful flour. Place the shelled nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in a 350°F oven until they smell toasty, about 3 to 5 minutes. Wrap the nuts in a clean dishcloth and roll to remove the peels. Then grind them in a food processor fitted with a steel blade, a blender, a coffee grinder, or a spice mill. Store the flour in a covered container in the refrigerator or freeze.
