I am attempting to cut sugar out of our family after a huge stomach fiasco happened from Halloween to well past Thanksgiving. I wasn't exposed to any gluten, but still got super sick. So I decided to fast for 6 days and I felt great! Now, I am not eating any grains or refined sugar. So this crust I used for a blueberry tart. Since I now cook like an Italian Momma, I really don't know exact amounts on much but I will do my best to help you...
2 cups of hazelnuts
1/4 cup of honey
1/4 cup of butter
1/2 tsp of salt
Melt honey and butter together and add salt. Place hazelnuts in a food processor and pulse until ground into a consistency of coffee grounds or course breadcrumbs. Err on the side of too big unless you want to make hazelnut butter :) Place the processed hazelnuts in a bowl and pour the honey mixture over the nuts. Combine and press into pie pan. This recipe works well for anything that you would use a graham cracker crust for. I also used a piece of saran wrap on my hands to press it down. It can be a tad sticky with the honey in it. It works well in a springform pan. I roasted the crust in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes before putting my filling in. Let me just say, that I could eat this crust as is it's that good!
