Chestnut flour is a common ingredient in the Mediterranean and it's easy to make, if a little laborious.
Method:
Pick young chestnuts, arrange in a single layer on trays lined with newspaper then store in a warm, dry and well-ventilated room for 2 months. After this time shell all the chestnuts individually (this is the labour-intensive part) then grind the dried chestnuts as finely as you can.
Use as an additive to wheat flour substitute a blend of 25% chestnut flour and 75% wheat flour in any cake recipes, or try any of the range of chestnut flour recipes presented on this site.
