Almond Crescent Biscuits Recipe

These sweet almond biscuits are a classic recipe that go back to nonnas day! They are my Dad’s favourite, so I learnt how to make them for him to enjoy with his morning coffee. Sweet and crunchy on the outside and flakey on the inside, they are truly SO delicious.

Ingredients:

  • 150g blanched almonds

  • 150g (1 cup) plain flour

  • 150g unsalted butter, chilled, cubed

  • 70g sugar

  • 2 egg yolks, at room temperature, lightly whisked

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla essence

  • Butter, to grease

  • 125g (3/4 cup) icing sugar

  • 60g (1/4 cup) caster sugar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking tray with butter.

  2. In a food processor, pulse the blanched almonds until finely ground. Add flour, butter, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla essence. Pulse until the mixture comes together and forms a dough.

  3. Roll tablespoons of the dough into small logs and shape them into crescents. Place them on the prepared baking tray.

  4. Bake the crescent biscuits for 12-15 minutes or until they are lightly golden on the edges. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

  5. Once the biscuits are completely cooled, mix icing sugar and caster sugar in a bowl. Lightly dust the crescent biscuits with the sugar mixture.

  6. Your almond crescent biscuits are ready to be enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee!

Enjoy these delightful treats as a snack or dessert to revive your day.

With love,
