Step by step recipe

Stage 14 - 40 min.
Bake for about 40 minutes.
Stage 15
Leave to cool on a wire rack.
Remarks
For an interesting variation: replace half the flour in the craquelin with ground hazelnuts. This gives a more definite hazelnut flavour and a subtler crust.
If you don't have hazelnut cream, just use almond cream or frangipane instead.
