Ingredients
 

  • 100 g Ground hazelnuts
  • 175 g Flour, preferably type 630 spelled
  • 100 g Powdered sugar
  • 4 tbsp Cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 150 g Cold butter
  • 2 Pc. Egg yolk
  • 60 g White chocolate couverture
  • 60 g Whole milk couverture

Instructions
 

  • Mix the nuts, flour, powdered sugar, cocoa powder and salt in a bowl. Add flaky butter and egg yolk and quickly knead everything into a smooth dough. Wrapped in cling film, chill for about 1 hour.
  • Form the dough into an elongated roll on a lightly floured work surface and cut off approximately 1 cm wide slices. Roll these between the moistened palms of the hands into the typical Kipferl shape and bend them. Place them next to each other on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees top / bottom heat for about 10 - 12 minutes. Then pull the baking paper onto the wire rack to cool down.
  • Melt the couvertures separately in a water bath and use a spoon to drizzle over the croissants in thin lines.
