Notes
To roast and de-skin hazelnuts, preheat oven to 150 degrees. Spread the hazelnuts on a sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Take out and empty the roasted hazelnuts into a kitchen towel. Roughly rub them for the skin to come off. Take off the deskinned hazelnuts. A few with skin is fine, though too much would cause bitterness.
