Ice Cream Recipes - To Skin Hazelnuts (Hazelnut Brittle)

Ingredients

  • 85 g/3 oz hazelnuts, skinned

  • 85 g/3 oz sugar

Method:

  1. If your hazelnuts are still in their skins, spread them on a baking sheet and preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Roast the nuts in the oven for 8-10 minutes, turning them after 5 minutes. Tip them on to a clean tea towel and rub until the skins flake off.

  2. Brush a baking sheet with vegetable oil to coat evenly. Put the sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over a very low heat and heat gently, without stirring, until the sugar starts to melt. As soon as the sugar has liquefied and turned a caramel color, add the hazelnuts and stir in. Pour the mixture on to the oiled baking sheet and leave to cool and harden.
