Sift the chestnut flour; add the sugar and a pinch of salt. Add 2 pts. cold water in a thin stream, beating constantly with a whisk so as not to form lumps. Add 3 tbs. oil, orange peel, raisins, pine nuts and walnuts. Add warm milk little by little until you get a stiff consistency. Pour the batter into a greased pan large enough for the crust to be 1/2-in. thick. Dribble on some oil.
Pre-heat the oven to 400°F and bake for an hour. Serve warm or cold. It can also be served with whipped cream.
Note:
Fennel seeds can be used in place of walnuts. |
