100g blanched hazelnuts
320g sheet all butter puff pastry
1 medium free range egg, beaten
75g caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
75g unsalted butter, softened
1 tbsp plain flour
¼ tsp fine salt
200g Waitrose Red Seedless Grapes
Crème fraîche or vanilla ice cream, to serve (optional)

Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Set aside 25g hazelnuts; put the remaining 75g on a baking tray and roast for 8 minutes or until golden; set aside to cool completely. Meanwhile, unroll the pastry and place, on its paper, on a large baking tray. Use a sharp knife to score a 2cm border around the edge of the pastry, taking care not to pierce the base. Prick the centre all over with a fork. Brush the border with a bit of the beaten egg, then sprinkle with a little sugar.
In a food processor, pulse the roasted nuts with 1 tbsp sugar until they’re roughly ground, then put in a bowl. Add the remaining sugar and the butter to the food processor, then whizz until combined (scraping down the edges as you go if needed). Whizz in the remaining beaten egg, followed by the ground hazelnuts, flour and salt.
Spread the nut mixture evenly over the middle of the pastry, then top with the grapes. Roughly chop the reserved hazelnuts and sprinkle over. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden, covering loosely with a sheet of foil after 15 minutes if the pastry browns too much. Serve warm or at room temperature with crème fraîche or vanilla ice cream, if liked.

Cook’s tip

Keep your cool

Make sure that the roasted hazelnuts are completely cool before whizzing in the food processor or they will become oily. Buy a pack of ready-roasted chopped hazelnuts if you’re short on time.
