Dycio Crescents

"These crescents are not very sweet, but light and flaky in texture, and the jam centers make them that much more delightful. I used the Solo Apricot filling, but the Almond flavor is also a very good choice for variation. This recipe was passed on to me by a friends who bakes without written recipes, and put a lot of effort to give me the ingredients and preparation directions.

directions

  • In a mixing bowl combine butter, sugar, eggs yolks, salt, and extract.
  • Mix well.
  • Mix the flour with baking powder and gradually add into the mixture, and continue mixing, until well incorporated.
  • Divide the dough into 8 even balls, each the size of an orange.
  • Place in a bowl, cover, and keep refrigerated for a couple of hours, or overnight.
  • Take one dough ball at a time, and massage it by squishing it with your hands for 10 seconds, to soften it.
  • Flatten slightly, and place it on a floured work area.
  • Roll the ball into a large, 1/8 inch thick circle, like for pie crust.
  • Using a pizza cutter, cut it into 8 even triangles (like pizza).
  • Place 1/2 tsp of filling in the middle of the wide end of each triangle.
  • Roll the wide end over the filling, and keep on rolling all the way to the triangle point.
  • Slightly beat the egg whites, but not too much as not to get them frothy.
  • Fill a place with granulated sugar.
  • Dip the crescents (still in a straight form), in the egg wash, then roll them in the granulated sugar.
  • Place them on a well greased cookie sheet, with the tip end at the bottom against the cookie sheet.
  • Bent the ends of each roll, to form crescents.
  • Bake in a preheated oven, at 350°, for 20 minutes, or until the edges start getting golden.
  • Remove onto a cookie cooling racks, and cool completely.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
