Ingredientes

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place hazelnuts in oven and toast for 12-14 minutes. Hazelnuts should be fragrant and lightly toasted. Remove and set aside. Set oven to 375°F.
  2. Mix butter and powdered sugar using a paddle attachment until well blended. In a separate bowl, beat egg until well blended. Add 2 tablespoons of beaten egg to butter mixture. (Keep remaining egg in fridge.) Add salt and vanilla and mix well. Set aside. 
  3. Place hazelnuts and flour in a food processor and mix until hazelnuts feel finer than cornmeal.
  4. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture in one step. On low speed mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Press dough evenly flat onto a sheet of plastic food film. Place dough in refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes or until well chilled.

  7. Set aside an 9-inch tart pan
  8. Sprinkle chilled area lightly with flour and roll dough into a circle large enough to cover entire tart pan. Place dough into tart pan and remove excess. Press dough into any cracks or tears. Prick bottom of tart shell.
  9. Place in oven, and after about 5-7 minutes check the crust. Re-prick bottom if it is puffed up. If sides of tart dough have slid down, press it back into place to meet rim of tart shell. Bake until golden and sides are shrinking slightly away from pan.
