Austrian Vanillekipferl

Ingredients:

150 g butter

210 g flour

80 g ground hazelnuts or almonds

80 g powdered sugar

One whole egg

60 g powdered sugar

3 tablespoons vanilla sugar

Cooking Instructions:

Sieve the flour into a heap on a pastry board or into a large bowl. Cut the cold butter into small pieces and mix with the flour. Add powdered sugar, ground almonds or hazelnuts and the egg. Rinse hands with cold water and quickly knead mixture into a crisp dough. Chill for half an hour. Form thumb thick rolls from the dough, cut into 1 cm wide pieces, roll and form crescents.
