Hazelnut Butter
Source: Food Day - The Oregonian - October 24, 2000
Similar to peanut butter, this is a special Oregon treat. It's an "old-fashioned" butter with no stabilizers; it can be kept at room temperature, but if kept refrigerated, very little oil separation will occur.
2 cups whole hazelnuts, toasted* (about 9 ounces)
3/4 teaspoon confectioners' sugar, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste (optional)
1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for blender method)
Food processor method: Place the toasted hazelnuts in a food processor container fitted with the metal blade. Process to a coarse texture (like crunchy peanut butter), about 3 minutes. Gradually add the sugar and salt. Scrape down sides; continue to process until desired texture is achieved, about 4 to 7 minutes. Shelf life is about 3 months in the refrigerator.
Blender method: Place toasted hazelnuts and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in blender container and grind to meal on low speed. Continue to blend on low for several minutes, scraping down sides of container as required and adding another tablespoon of oil, if necessary.
When butter is fairly soft, blend on high for 2 to 3 minutes or until desired texture is achieved. Gradually add the sugar and salt; blend on low until thoroughly mixed.
* To toast hazelnuts, spread the shelled nuts in a shallow pan and roast at 275 degrees F for 20 to 30 minutes or until the skins crack. To remove skins, rub nuts while warm with a rough cloth.
Crunchy variation
Stir in 1/4 cup roasted, chopped hazelnuts or roasted (or raw) sunflower seeds to finished butter.
Makes about 1 cup butter.

Billy HazelnutsView This Product at Amazon
An original graphic novel from the creator of Maakies and Sock Monkey.
Tony Millionaire, creator of Sock Monkey and one of America's most popular weekly comic strips, Maakies, delivers his first original graphic novel for Fantagraphics, Billy Hazelnuts. Billy Hazelnuts transmutes nursery rhymes and the golem myth into a storybook about Becky, girl scientist, her friend Billy Hazelnuts (who was created from cooking ingredients by tailless mice), and their journey to find the missing moon while battling an evil steam-driven alligator with a seeing-eye skunk. Millionaire fuses the darker spirit of older fairy tales with an absurdist adventure story, throws gender politics into the mix, and brings it to life with his dementedly charming and meticulous drawing style that is utterly transporting. Billy Hazelnuts features all-new characters, a first for Millionaire after building a tremendous following for his Sock Monkey and Maakies characters, which is sure to delight existing fans as well as introduce an entirely new audience to his breathtaking line and imagination.

Billy Hazelnuts and the Crazy BirdView This Product at Amazon
Take a trip into the deep, deep woods with this all-ages graphic novel.
Billy Hazelnuts is back for the first time since his acclaimed 2006 Eisner Award-winning debut. Life has settled back to normal in the old house. Becky and her mom are getting used to having Billy around, despite his strong odor. He performs various household chores, utilizing his amazing strength. Nothing could be better, aside from a jumpy relationship with the cat. Until one day Billy hears screeching in the back yard and runs out to find a very large owl attacking his housemate. "I hate that cat, but it's OUR CAT!" yells Billy, and chases the owl off.
Billy soon discovers that the owl he has just scared off has left an egg in his nest. When the egg hatches, it's up to Billy to reunite the baby owl with his mother, and the two head off into the deep, deep woods in search of her. The resulting adventure is a crazy potion of all-ages fun, humor, thrills and chills like only Tony Millionaire is capable of.
Billy Hazelnuts is the latest addition to the pantheon of Tony Millionaire, creator of the popular Maakies comic strip (including several bestselling book collections from Fantagraphics) and the Sock Monkey series of books and comics. In the summer of 2007, the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim premiered the pilot of The Drinky Crow Show (based on Maakies) along with several other pilots and asked fans to vote on their favorites. Drinky Crow was the overwhelming favorite. Look for new episodes in 2008.
