The toughest thing to de-skin amongst the nuts are filberts or hazelnuts. Here's how one can do it. Note: I am posting water also as an ingredient because the computer won't accept only 1 ingredient. Ingredients:
2 cups raw hazelnuts (shelled) |
water, as required |
Directions:
1. Place the filberts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
2. Bake at 275 F until the skins crack. This takes 30 minutes.
3. Transfer nuts to a clean kitchen towel and roll it up.
4. Allow nuts to steam for 5 minutes.
5. Rub nuts in the same towel between the hands until most of the skins come off.
6. Enjoy and use hazelnuts now to make cookies.
