Recipe of the Iroquois from the northeast of the USA

Simmer the chopped hazelnuts in water for about 30 minutes until soft. Add the salt, cornflour, and maple syrup and mix well. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes. With slightly moistened hands, form 18 small cakes. Fry in a pan with oil or lard until golden brown on both sides. Fry the bacon slices in the frying fat until crispy, place on top of the finished hazelnut cakes, and drizzle with maple syrup. The cakes are delicious hot or cold. They also make a great keepsake for the next day.
