Chestnut flour pastry crust

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a recipe for a savory tart shell that uses chestnut flour? I'm unsure about proportions and would rather not wing it if there's a good recipe out there. Google hasn't helped a bit on this one.

Here's one that I've done with hazelnuts...should be adaptable:

227 g. hazelnuts with skins

567 g. AP flour

1/4 t. salt

85 g. chilled butter, cut into small pieces, more for pan

350 F degrees

Roast nuts on a baking sheet until browned and fragrant. Pulse in food processor to make a coarse meal. Transfer to a large bowl. Add flour and salt. Add butter; use two knives or a pastry cutter to cut into mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir with a fork, and gradually add 1/2 cup cold water, or more as needed, until dough is cohesive. Shape into 2 balls. Chill until ready to use.
