  • Christmas Special 2024. Bonus-to-Brain with your hosts and producersChristmas Special

    As promised: Vanillekipferl (Vanilla crescents)

    Ingredients:

    250 g wheat flour (type 405, all-purpose) (2 cups)

    210 g butter (room temperature) (slightly less than 1 cup)
    50 g ground almonds (1/2 cup)
    50 g ground hazelnuts (1/2 cup)
    90 g sugar (just under 1/2 cup)
    1 pinch of salt
    100 g powdered sugar (3/4 cup)
    4 sachets vanilla sugar (1/4 cup total)

    Instructions:

    1. Knead together the flour, butter, sugar, ground nuts, and salt. Wrap the dough in cling film and place it in the fridge for about 60 minutes.
    2. Mix the powdered sugar with the vanilla sugar.
    3. Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350°F).
    4. Remove walnut-sized lumps from the dough, roll them between your palms, and shape them into crescents (=> kipferl). Place them on a baking tray with some space between them.
    5. Bake for approx. 10 - 12 minutes. They are ready when they just start to brown.
    6. Allow the kipferl to cool briefly and then carefully push them closer together. Sift the powdered sugar and vanilla sugar mixture generously over them.
    7. Leave the finished kipferl to cool completely before serving.
