Ingredients

  • 2 cups (300 grams) whole, raw hazelnuts
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • pinch ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Arrange the hazelnuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and toast the hazelnuts until golden and fragrant, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and set aside just until cool enough to handle.
  • Transfer the hazelnuts to a large kitchen towel and rub them together well to remove the skins.
  • Place the skinned hazelnuts in the food processor. Process until the texture changes from chopped to ground and finally a pourable butter. If the machine starts to get too hot, turn off and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before starting again.
  • If desired, pulse in the salt and cinnamon. Adjust to taste.
  • Transfer to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use, within two weeks.
