  • 3/4 cup golden syrup

Directions:

  4. Wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. PRESS pastry into a circle about 1 thick.

  7. Line a lightly greased pie plate, (about 7-8 ) with the rolled out pastry.
  8. DO NOT TRIM the edge yet.
  9. For best results, prick the base with a fork, and chill.
  10. Remove from fridge and to prevent the pastry from puffing up while baking, place a sheet of buttered foil over the pastry, pressing it gently into the sides.
  11. Bake at 200'C (400'F) in the centre of the oven for 5 minutes.
  12. Remove foil and continue to bake for a further 3 minutes.
  13. Cool slightly, THEN trim edge- (having allowed for'shrinkage'), and then add the filling.
  14. TO MAKE THE FILLING: Lightly toast the hazelnuts in the oven for about 10 minutes at 160'C (325'F) Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  15. Beat in eggs, one at a time.
