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:

• 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.
