How to Make Hazelnut Butter

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread 1 cup of hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Toast for 10-15 minutes, shaking the pan every 5 minutes, until fragrant and lightly browned.
  4. Pour the warm hazelnuts onto a clean kitchen towel and fold the towel over to steam for 5 minutes.
  5. Let cool slightly, then rub the hazelnuts vigorously in the towel to remove most of the skins.
  6. Transfer the hazelnuts to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
  7. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the food processor.
  8. Process until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  9. Transfer the hazelnut butter to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up before serving.
