For the frangipane, cream the butter and sugar together in a stand mixer or mixing bowl. Add the egg, stirring to incorporate, then then flour and ground hazelnuts. Mix until combined but do not overwork the mixture. Transfer to piping bags and set aside until ready to use (if you are making the frangipane a long time in advance then it can be kept in the fridge, but allow it to come to room temperature before piping)
