Tarte Experiment

Pandora said:

I would like to do an experiment: a tarte made with chestnut flour and
stuffed with elderberry (or wood fruit)jam. What do you think? Have you ever
tried it?

IIRC chestnut flower is commonly used in Europe for pastries.

This is not exactly what you are asking about but might give you some
inspiration.

CASTAGNACCIO (chestnut crust)
Ingredients: 1 lb. chestnut flour , 4 Tbs. sugar , pinch salt , 3 Tbs.
olive oil , 1 Tbs. grated orange zest , 4 Tbs. soaked squeezed raisins ,
2 Tbs. pine nuts , 2 Tbs. coarsely chopped walnuts , milk, as needed
Sift the chestnut flour, add the sugar and a pinch of salt. Add 2 pints
cold water in a thin stream beating constantly with a whisk so that
lumps do not form. Add 3 Tbs. oil, orange peel, raisins, pine nuts and
walnuts. Add warm milk little by little until you achieve a stiff
consistency. Pour the batter into a greased pan large enough so that the
mixture is 1/2" thick. Dribble on some oil. Bake in a preheated 400� F.
Oven for an hour. Serve warm or cold. It can also be served with whipped
cream.
VARIATION: Fennel seeds can be used in place of walnuts

Thank you Joseph! I know the recipe of castagnaccio. I do it very often. But
the original recipe wants rosemary over the top 🙂
