Chestnut and vanilla morning cake

You can serve it at teatime with broken pieces of marrons glacés. For the people of Nantes, I find them all year round at Carol’s in Talensac market.

You’ll find chestnut flour in organic shops. Compare prices, because it’s always dear — while some shops sell it at €7 for 500 g, others mark it up to more than €10… For your information, you generally use 200 g of wheat flour to 100 g of chestnut flour, which brings the cost of the mix down, organic wheat flour costing around €7 for 5 kg.
