How can I scale the servings?

Use the portion selector near the recipe title. All ingredient amounts adjust instantly so you can cook for one or for a crowd without mental math.

Do you suggest ingredient swaps?

Seasonal swap ideas and substitutions are highlighted in the step-by-step instructions, so you can use what is ripe in your kitchen garden or market.

Can I prepare parts of the recipe ahead?

Look for make-ahead notes in the steps. Many sauces, doughs and roasted vegetables can be prepared earlier and finished just before serving.

Preparation of Vanilla crescents

Grate almonds

230 dag Almonds

Blanch 230 dag Almonds briefly in boiling water, rinse in cold water, peel and grate finely. Alternatively, the grated almonds can also be bought ready-made.

Shortcrust pastry

210 dag Butter
160 dag Flour
140 dag Sugar

Mix 160 dag Flour, 140 dag Sugar, and the ground almonds, then knead into a shortcrust pastry with 210 dag Butter (cut into pieces, not too cold). Chill the shortcrust pastry for 30 minutes.

Shaping vanilla crescents

Form 3 cm thick rolls from the dough in portions and cut slices from them. Then shape the slices into rolls just under 1 cm thick, bend them into the typical "Kipferl" shape and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Bake vanilla crescents

Bake the vanilla crescents at 180°C for 6-10 minutes. The croissants should still be a little crumbly after baking. Leave the vanilla crescents to cool briefly and carefully remove from the tray with the baking paper.

Sugar the vanilla crescents

100 dag Powdered sugar
10 packages Vanilla sugar

Mix 100 dag Powdered sugar with 10 packages Vanilla sugar and sprinkle over the vanilla crescents. Then leave the vanilla crescents to cool completely.
