makes about 100 small croissants

Place flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, lemon zest, almonds, and pistachios on a baking sheet, make a well, and add the egg. Add small pieces of butter on top. Quickly knead everything into a dough and chill for 60 minutes. Roll the dough into a log, cut into 1 cm long pieces, and shape them into croissants. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and gently press them down. Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven at 175°C for about 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and dust with sifted powdered sugar/vanilla powdered sugar. One recipe yields 110 croissants. However, I bake very small croissants.
