2 cups hazelnuts, skinned, lightly toasted and coarsely chopped

6 ounces ( 1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

For The Filling:
Combine sugar and lemon juice. Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally until pale amber in color (about 12-15 minutes).

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter a 9-inch springform pan.

Beat butter in mixer with paddle until smooth and creamy, gradually add sugar. Cream until light and fluffy. Add yolks one at a time. Mix in flour until dough forms. Gather dough together on a floured surface.

Press remaining dough into 9 inch cake circle and chill well.

Spread nut filling evenly in the pan, over the dough. Peel chilled dough off the cardboard and place over filling. Press into place and seal edges with a fork. Pierce the top crust in 10-12 places with a fork.

Bake 45-50 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until light brown around the edge. Cool briefly in the pan. Unmold and cool on a wire rack.
