Strange, but nice

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?

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.
