INSTRUCTIONS

  • 1
    In a large bowl, combine spelt flour and almond flour, room temperature butter, cane sugar, egg, egg yolk, orange zest, and vanilla extract to form a firm dough.
  • 2
    Wrap the prepared dough in cling film and let it rest in the refrigerator for 6–8 hours (preferably until the next day).
  • 3
    Then unwrap the rested dough from the film and let it soften at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
  • 4
    Then preheat the oven to 170–175 °C, prepare a baking sheet (30 cm × 40 cm) and line it with baking paper.
  • 5
    If using a crescent mold, take a sufficient amount of dough and press it into the mold. If you don't have a mold, roll the dough into cylinders approximately 4–5 cm long, then bend them into a crescent shape and transfer them to the baking sheet. Continue this process until all the dough is used.
  • 6
    Place the baking sheet or mold with the crescents into the oven preheated to 170–175 °C and bake the crescents for 12–14 minutes.
  • 7
    After baking, let the crescents cool for about 40 minutes.
  • 8
    Once the crescents are cold, you can serve them. Stored in an airtight container in a cool place, the crescents will last for approximately 2 weeks.
Tip
Before serving, coat the crescents in xylitol or powdered cane sugar. You can also dip them halfway into melted dark chocolate.
