-
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
-
Spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 – 14 minutes.
-
In about 5 – 7 minutes stir the nuts so they toast evenly while also checking on the progress.
-
When hazelnuts are cool, put them in the center of a towel and pull corners of the towel together.
-
Roll the hazelnuts around with some force till skins come loose.
-
A small amount of skin will remain on the nuts and that is fine.
-
Sometimes I separate the ones that the skins didn’t come off and put them back in the oven for a few more minutes.
-
When cool grind them in a food processor until fairly fine.
