Sweet vanilla-scented vanilla crescents taste simply heavenly fine. They require few ingredients and are baked quickly. Only the shaping needs a little time and muse.
For the vegan version of the German-Austrian classic vanilla crescents, the butter is replaced with coconut oil or margarine. And if you want to bake low carb or gluten-free vanilla crescents, you can replace the flour entirely with almond flour.
Have fun baking and enjoying!
Ingredients for approx. 40 vanilla crescents
Vanilla crescents: Step 1
Prepare the mise en place. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line a baking tray with baking paper. Place all the ingredients except the powdered sugar and the sachet of vanilla sugar in a pastry bowl and mix together using a food processor or your hands.
Vanilla crescents: 2nd step
Take walnut-sized portions of the dough and roll out between your hands. Place on a baking tray and shape into a crescent. Bake the croissants for 12 minutes until they are lightly browned around the edges.
Vanilla crescents: 3rd step
Sieve the powdered sugar into a bowl and mix with the vanilla sugar. Carefully turn the lukewarm vanilla crescents in it so that they are completely covered in powdered sugar.
