A different, delicious take on traditional panellets, where chestnut lends a soft texture and a naturally sweet flavour with a very special autumn touch. Perfect for sharing at the Castanyada.

STEP 1

Cook the chestnuts until very tender. Once cooked, drain them and blend until you get a smooth, even paste.

STEP 2

Add the sugar, egg yolk and lemon zest to the chestnut paste. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined.

STEP 3

Shape small balls with the dough, keeping them an even size.

STEP 4

Coat the panellets with the pine nuts, pressing lightly so they stick well to the dough.

STEP 5

Preheat the oven to 180 °C and place the panellets on a tray lined with baking paper.

STEP 6

Bake the panellets for 10-15 minutes, until lightly golden. Let them cool before serving.
