This is one of those mixer ingredients that you don’t think about until you try it. It’s definitely not that regular run of the mill walnut; the kind you would find in the brownies baked by strangers who never loved you.
Black walnuts are a nostalgic beast; flavorful and robust.
Unfortunately due to their lack of profit in the farming industry they’re also too often cast aside as squirrel food or the obnoxious organic refuse that dings your car.
Pairs best with whiskey, rum, or snuck into real maple syrup to make your pancakes sing.
