This German-style nut pastry (Haselnusshörnchen) can be found in almost every bakery in Germany. It's very easy to make this at home and the result is just as delicious. You can use either hazelnut or almond, or a combination of two. They are fantastic to serve at the breakfast or in the afternoon with a pot of freshly brewed coffee. I have found the recipe in a local weekly magazine (Neue Post) and just tweaked a bit based on our taste and pantry stock.
DoughFilling

300 g Potatoes
60 g Butter
100 g Sugar
2 Eggs, medium
400 g White spelt flour
15 g Baking powder

135 g Ground hazelnut
45 g Coconut sugar 5 tbsp Coconut milk
1 tsp Vanilla
Icing sugar, to dust

Cover the potatoes with water in a saucepan. Bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low. Cover the pot with a lid and let simmer until fork-tender, about 25 minutes. Drain potatoes and cool to room-temperature. Chill the potatoes overnight. Peel and weigh 250 grams for the recipe.
Whisk together the spelt flour and baking powder together. Use a potato press to press the potato into the flour mixture.
