Nutty Twisters

Bonjour!

I know you have been through this kind of situation.You are sitting at home,the phone rings and some family members or mothers in law invite themselves to your house.
Dang! Panic!.........
You have no cake,nothing you could offer to your guest.......
And you gotta impress your mother in law....
Omg.....what to do????
No panic....Nutty Twisters is your life saver.
Quick and easy.All you need is a blender

You need:
2 sheets of puff pastry
250 gr hazelnuts
100 gr sliced almonds
180 gr sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
50 gr butter
100-150 ml heavy cream
a pinch of salt
some flour
optional : raisins

Mix half of the almonds with the 2/3 of the hazelnuts and put them into your blender.Turn them into ground almonds and hazelnuts.Add the sugar ,the salt and the cinnamon to the nuts in the blender and blend again.
Now add the butter and half of the cream.You want to achieve a quite thick paste.If the mix is too runny,add more hazelnuts,if it is too stiff,add some cream.
On a floured surface,roll out the puff pastry a bit and spread half of the mixture on one sheet puff pastry.Make sure the mixture is not spread too thick,otherwise your Nutty Twisters will look disgusting after baking.Sprinkle with some almond slices.(and if you like raisins in your twisters,sprinkle them all over)
Now tightly roll the puff pastry and cut it into 1 inch thick slices.
Place the slice on a grease proof non stick baking paper.
Repeat the process for the second sheet of puff pastry.

Bake for 15-25 min /200 degree Celsius/medium high temp.


The nut mix will caramelize and you will love it.
It can also be eaten for breakfast.
