About this product
Hazelnut flour is simply hazelnuts ground to a fine meal. It has a warm, sweet, toasty aroma, and it brings a distinctive depth to bakes that ground almonds cannot quite match, especially in anything chocolatey or coffee flavoured.
Use it to replace a portion of the plain flour in shortbread for a sandy, crumbly bite, or fold it into brownies and chocolate cakes for richness. It also works in the base for a tart, where it creates a crisp, fragrant crust.
Because there is no gluten in the nuts, flour made from them behaves differently in a recipe. It will not give structure on its own, so mix it with other flours or eggs. Start by swapping around a quarter of the flour and adjust from there.
We grind small amounts at a time so the oils stay fresh. For extra flavour, toast the flour in a dry pan for a few minutes, stirring often, then let it cool before using it. Our guide to toasting hazelnuts has useful tips.
