Hazelnut praline is used as a component in various pastry products. It's used in nutty spreads as well as petit gateaux. You can readily buy them off-the-shelf but it tastes so much better when you make it yourself - and yes, it's much cheaper that way.

★Ingredients★
Sugar 100g
Hazelnuts 150g

★Steps★
1. Toast/Roast the hazelnuts at 160~165°C for 10mins.
2. Melt the sugar in a saucepan (large saucepan will allow the sugar to melt more evenly) Heat on medium-high heat while whisking/stirring the sugar.
3. When the sugar melts and turns brown in colour add the hazelnuts. The caramel will harden but keep stirring and it will turn liquid again.
4. Coat the hazelnut completely with caramel.
5. Cool completely.
6. Grind it in a food processor until it turns to paste.

★Useful Tip★
When grinding the caramelised hazelnut in the food processor, the friction inside the food processor will generate heat and it'll become hot! Keep the temperature of the paste below 60°C (preferably around 50°C) or else too much oil will be extracted from the hazelnut.

★Other method★
This method isn't the only method of making hazelnut praline. In fact the method I've shown you today is the quick method as it uses dry caramel rather than wet caramel. The old school version is one where you use wet caramel and crystallise the sugar with the hazelnut. It tends to have more depth in the flavour but it takes so much longer so I prefer the quick method.

★ABOUT ME★
Hi! I’m Hanbit, professional pastry chef and CEO of Sugar Lane Baking Academy based in Seoul, Korea. Funny enough, my background had nothing to do with baking - far from it. I studied mathematics at university and then worked in finance, strategy consulting and IT. Then one day in 2018, I quit my job and enrolled at a pastry school. I have loved it ever since!

As my story suggests, I really enjoy being a pastry chef and I am keen to share the joy of baking with as many people as possible. Baking can seem daunting at first but as long as you take it step-by-step anyone can do it - even someone with no baking background like myself managed to become a professional pastry chef!

I'll try my best to include detailed explanations and tips in my recipes so that you will be able to bake amazing desserts. I aim to create videos that can be enjoyed by people at all levels - those who bake for fun as well as those who want to get more serious.
