These buttery crescents are made with ground almonds and vanilla sugar, then dusted generously with icing sugar.
Ingredients
- 125 g cold butter
- 60 g sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons vanilla sugar
- 200 g flour
- ¼ cup ground almonds
- Icing sugar, for dusting
Method
- Mix the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, flour, ground almonds and egg yolk by hand until a firm dough forms. Do not add water.
- Wrap the dough and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Shape small crescents and place them on a baking tray.
- Bake at gas mark 2 for about 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden. If your oven allows, bake from below first, then briefly use the grill for colour.
- Let the crescents cool on the tray, then dust generously with icing sugar.
