Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cups (9 oz. / 250 g) whole shelled hazelnuts
  • 1 1/4 cups (9 oz. / 250 g) sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (4 1/2 oz., 125 g) egg whites, about 4

Preparation:

  1. Roughly chop the hazelnuts.
  2. In a mixing bowl whisk together the sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and chopped hazelnuts. Pour in the egg whites and stir to combine. Pour the batter into a saucepan and place over medium heat, stirring briskly with a wooden spoon, until the temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely, stirring from time to time.
  3. Preheat the oven to 365°F (190°C). Place the silicon mat on a baking sheet.
  4. With a soup spoon, scoop up a little batter and drop it in 11⁄4-inch- (3 cm-) diameter mounds on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for about 20 minutes, until well puffed up and nicely colored.
  6. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer carefully to a cooling rack with a spatula. Store in an airtight container.
