Homemade Hazelnut Butter 〰️ a little bit spicy, a lotta bit creamy (or crunchy—the choice is yours). Spread it on your sourdough toast for a tasty fall treat that’s worth the make. Plus, it keeps in the fridge for up to a month, so you’ll have it on hand for baking season, which is, well, unofficially here.
The star ingredient is our decadent Roasted Hazelnut Oil, made the old-fashioned French way. First, we crush hazelnuts into a paste and roast it in a cast iron kettle, creating a specialty gourmand oil that we later mix with a lighter hazelnut oil for a flavor you can drizzle generously. It’s a culinary oil worth keeping on hand.
INGREDIENTS
• 4 cups raw hazelnuts
• tsps raw sugar
• 1 Tbsp Hazelnut Oil, plus more as needed
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp cardamom
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 1/8 tsp allspice
• 1/8 tsp cloves
• 1/8 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp salt
STEPS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread hazelnuts onto a large baking sheet and evenly distribute in one layer. Roast for 10-12 minutes or until slightly golden.
2. Allow nuts to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a large kitchen towel. Wrap nuts in towel and roll the nuts so that skins of the hazelnuts are removed. Keeping the skins on is okay, although your nut butter will not be as creamy.
3. Transfer the toasted nuts to a food processor. Process on high until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add sugar and Hazelnut Oil while blending. Continue to process until you reach desired consistency.
4. Once blended, add spices and salt. Continue to blend for 30 seconds. Pour into a container. To keep fresh, store in the fridge for up to 1 month.
