Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 8 min.

Sieve 125 g flour and 125 g chestnut flour together into a mixer bowl. Add 125 g butter, 125 g sweet chestnut purée (crème de marrons), 1 egg and 30 g ground hazelnuts.

Stage 2 - 4 min.

Knead until the dough is evenly mixed.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Transfer the dough onto a sheet of baking paper.

Stage 4 - 1 hour

Lay a second sheet of baking paper on top and roll out the dough with a rolling pin to about 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) thick.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

After cooling to firm up the dough, put the dough back on the worktop, remove the top paper and dust with flour.

Stage 6 - 3 min.

Flip the dough over onto the floured side and remove the other paper.

Stage 7 - 3 min.

Finish rolling out the dough to the desired thickness.

Stage 8 - 8 min.

Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C).

Cut out in whatever shapes you like; here they are squares just over 1" inch (3 cm).

Stage 9

Arrange the biscuits on a baking sheet.

Stage 10

It is worth noting that while the dough is still cold, it is easy to mark it with letters or other designs.

Stage 11 - 30 min.

Bake for about 30 minutes.

Stage 12

Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Remarks

You can easily vary the quantity of chestnut flour, which has a slightly bitter flavour. If you reduce it, increase the wheat flour by the same amount to compensate.

The dough can be made the day before and refrigerated until needed.

Keeping

A few days in an air-tight jar or tin.

Tiramisu

Classic italian recipe (the name means "pull me up" or more poetically, "take me up to the sky"). It's similar to a charlotte in its structure: layers of flavoured biscuits between layers of smooth cream.
