Method

Bring the cream, glucose, honey and salt just to the boil. Pour over the chopped dark chocolate, wait one minute and blend; add the butter at 40°C. Cover the surface and refrigerate for 6 hours; let it soften to a pipeable consistency before filling.
While the ganache chills, combine flour, cornflour, icing sugar, ground hazelnuts, salt and baking powder. Rub in cold butter and bind with the dough yolks. Roll 3 mm thick and chill for 3 hours. Cut sixty 4 cm discs; indent an inner rim and two or four holes in 30 tops. Freeze for one hour.
Bake at 150°C for about 15 minutes. Cool slightly, mix the separate egg-wash yolks and cream and brush lightly; bake for another 10 minutes at 150°C, then cool.
Sandwich the bases and tops with ganache. Melt the separate 50 g chocolate at 45–50°C, cool to about 30–32°C and pipe the button threads. Refrigerate until serving.
