For the last 10 years or so, I have been baking vanilla kipfel in December. These biscuits are very buttery and almondy. They crumble and melt in your mouth.
Plain flour 180g
Almond powder 90G
Icing sugar 50g
Salted Butter 150g
Set the oven temperature to 150 degrees celsius.
Process all the ingredients in a food processor for 30 seconds or so.
The dough is not dough like. It resembles damp sand.
Take about a golf ball size powdery dough in your hand and hold it until the butter melts enough so you can shape the dough into a crescent. Repeat till all the dough is used up.
Bake for 15~18 minutes.
When they come out of the oven, shift plenty of icing sugar over them.
