These are one of my favorite snacks.
A little sweet
a little spicy
and completely delicious.
Peeling hazelnuts can be kind of tricky.
After some trial and error, I’ve found the Julia Childs method to be the easiest.
Boil 3 cups of water
add 2 Tbps baking soda
add hazelnuts and boil for three minutes.
Drain in a colander and then rinse with cold water for several seconds.
Once the hazelnuts are cool enough to handle grab a small handful and roll back and forth between your hands slightly vigorously until the skins come off.
