Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 4 min.

Stage 7 - 2 min.
Sit the second circle of dough on top and press down lightly around the edge to seal.

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.
