Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • generous 1/3 cup of sugar (brown sugar)
  • 2-3 oz of walnuts
  • 2 1/2 tbs chestnut honey
  • 3/4 stick of butter
  • 1/2 cup of flour

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 °.

In a food processor, chop the walnuts into a fine powder. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar, i.e. the reason you whisk the egg yolks and sugar is to incorporate air which increases the volume and turns the mixture white.

Step 2

Meanwhile melt the butter gently (in a double boiler or microwave) and then beat the egg whites until stiff. Add melted butter and honey mixture to the eggs and sugar. Whisk well, add nuts and flour and then finish by gently incorporating egg whites using a spatula. Butter the bottom of a small round pan (about 9") and top with the dough. Bake until a knife stuck in center comes out clean (about 25 minutes). Unmold and let cool.
