Mrs. Ammon always bakes us delicious almond croissants for coffee. Here I’d like to share her delicious recipe for tender almond croissants or almond crescents. Dough: Knead flour, butter, salt, vanilla sugar, egg yolks, and cream into a dough. Form into 4 balls, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest in the refrigerator overnight. Filling: Beat egg whites until stiff, sprinkle in small amounts of sugar, and fold in ground almonds. Roll out each dough ball individually into a circle. Cut them with a knife like slices of cake. Spread the individual triangles with the nut mixture and roll them up. Shape them into crescents. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar while still warm. These crescents taste truly tender!
