Without nuts, recipe from my grandma

Mix the flour and sugar, cut the butter into flakes and knead in until a firm, homogeneous dough forms. Store the dough in a plastic bag or in a covered bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Then, using your hands, break off walnut-sized pieces and shape them into balls between your palms, then into oblong shapes. Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and roll them into croissants. Bake in the oven at 180°C (top/bottom heat) or 160°C (fan oven) for approximately 12-15 minutes, until lightly browned. In the meantime, mix the powdered sugar with the vanilla sugar on a flat plate. Let the croissants cool slightly, but roll them in the mixture while they are still warm.
