Skinning hazelnuts

November 27, 2006

To skin hazelnuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the skins begin to flake off. Remove from the oven and wrap them in a towel. Wait for 15 minutes, until cold enough to handle. Using a small quantity each time, place nuts between your palms and rub them together. The skin should peel off. If not, try placing the nuts in a coarse towel, fold the towel to cover the nuts and  rub again.
