A short time ago I bought some [[chestnut]] [[flour]], but wasn't sure what to do with it. Someone suggested using to substitute some of the plain [[flour]] in shortbread, so this is what I have done.

''Strange, but nice''

4.3/5 

Made this a few years ago, thanks Julia. Can't find chestnut flour anymore. Maybe I can make some next season using freshly roasted chestnuts?
