Vegan and quick to make: vanilla crescents

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 Vanillekipferl, replace the butter with coconut fat 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!

Esin Portrait
I am very happy to be able to share one of my favourite pastimes with you. I have been cooking and baking since I was a child. I love to create delicious meals and dishes from good quality food. I love to go to different countries' kitchens or improvise with creating vegan alternatives. A vitamin-preserving preparation method is just as important to me as the orientation towards seasonal and regional products.
 
I can even share my passion for cooking and baking with young people in my professional life as a secondary school teacher when I teach the subject Economy, Work and Household.
 
Other things I love to do are yoga, swimming (preferably in the sea), reading and being with my family or friends.
