  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1              pound  chestnut flour
  4        tablespoons  sugar
  1              pinch  salt
  3        tablespoons  olive oil
  1         tablespoon  grated orange zest
  4        tablespoons  soaked squeezed raisins
  2        tablespoons  pine nuts
  2        tablespoons  coarsely chopped walnuts
                        Milk -- as needed

Sift the chestnut flour, add the sugar and a pinch of salt. Add 2 
pints cold water in a thin stream beating constantly with a whisk 
so that lumps do not form.

Add 3 tablespoons oil, orange peel, raisins, pine nuts and walnuts.
Add warm milk little by little until you achieve a stiff consistency.
Pour batter into a greased pan large enough so that the mixture is
1/2-inch thick. Dribble on some oil.

Bake in a preheated 400° F. oven for an hour.

Serve warm or cold. It can also be served with whipped cream.

VARIATION : Fennel seeds can be used in place of walnuts
