ground hazelnuts

[lovinglife]

does anyone know where I can buy ground hazelnuts? - I don't have a food prosessor or anything that would be strong enough to grind them right down - need them for my low carb roularde for Easter!

Thanks in advance

Have you tried looking in the baking section of supermarkets, good home baking shops and health food stores. If you just do a search online using the keywords 'ground hazelnuts' you will also find suppliers.

Thanks Ken for your quick reply - have tried supermarkets (Tesco & Morrisons) and H&B - have tried on line too but they wouldn't get to me in time - lots of places have minimum spend too - I only want 100g! :lol: - Does anyone know if Julian Graves or Sainsbury sell them? - I need to travel a few miles to get them from these places.

I have a hand blender would that be strong enough does anyone know - just had it a couple of weeks so don't want to jigger it up! :lol:

Must be the size of your supermarkets.....?? I have seen bags in Tesco, Asda, Co-op and Sainsbury's near me in the home baking sections......

Like Nigel said......hammer maybe and a pestle and mortar !

I use a coffee grinder for nuts, I picked up a second hand one from a charity shop for a couple of quid and it's still going strong 15 years later - I think nuts are softer than roasted coffee beans. The oil in nuts means the grounds tend to stick together in clumps but they break up very easily with a fork. I use kitchen roll and a toothbrush to keep the grinder clean, you have to be careful to get the oil off to stop it going rancid.
