This comes from one of my German Cookbooks. We love Hazelnuts (Filberts) and they are incorporated in many of my German and Austrian recipes I prepare. Unfortunately my Grandmother didn't write down all her recipes, so I have had to resort to friends and cookbooks to help duplicate them. In this recipe I use Half/Half rather then milk and I use Rose Water instead of the Vanilla Extra. I also roast my Hazelnut sightly after blanching them.
