Trivia

Chestnut flour has a sweet and intense flavor, which pairs perfectly with autumn desserts. Additionally, it is naturally gluten-free, so with some adjustments, this recipe could also be adapted for those following a gluten-free diet by replacing the all-purpose flour with a suitable gluten-free pastry flour.
