Ingredients
2
vanilla beans
10
oz
flour
or 1 1/4 cups
3 1/2
oz
ground almonds
or 1/4 cup + 3 tablespoons
3
oz
granulated Sugar
or 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons
7
oz
cold butter
or 1 3/4 sticks cubed
3 1/2
oz
Powdered sugar
or 1/4 cup + 3 tablespoons
Instructions
Cut the vanilla beans lengthwise and scrape out the pulp.
Combine the pulp with the flour, ground almonds, sugar and butter, and knead to form a dough. Wrap and keep in the fridge for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 175°C/350°F and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Halve the dough for easier handling, and roll out each half into a long snake, about 1 2/3″ in diameter.
Cut into 1/2″ thick segments. Form each piece into a crescent and place on the baking tray.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until they have a golden-yellow color.
Cool completely, then dust with a nice layer of powdered sugar.
