Fig, hazelnut, and chestnut flour crumble recipe

Fig, hazelnut, and chestnut flour crumble recipe

Ingredients · Servings 4
  • 20 small, ripe figs
  • 50g of chestnut flour
  • 50g of wheat flour
  • 50g of hazelnut powder
  • 80g of butter
  • 70g of brown sugar
Method · 30 min
  1. Peel the figs and cut them in half. Arrange them in the bottom of a small ovenproof dish. Pour the two flours, sugar and hazelnut powder into a mixing bowl.
  2. Add the very cold butter, cut into cubes. Quickly work this mixture with your fingers, incorporating the butter into the other ingredients.
  3. You need to work quickly so the butter doesn't get too soft. Stop when you get a crumbly dough. Put the dough in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 180°.
  5. Finally, scatter the pieces of dough over the fig layer. Bake for 20 minutes; at the end of baking, the surface of the crumble should be golden brown.
