Castagnaccio

This is a Tuscan specialty made of chestnut flour combined with sugar, water, and olive oil, then baked in a round pan. Rather high and dense, castagnaccio is sometimes garnished with raisins and pine nuts; it has been the traditional after-school snack for generations of Tuscan children.
