CARDAMOM BUTTER CRESCENTS

The egg whites in the batter keep these buttery shortbread-like cookies crumbly and light (and provide a place for all those spare egg whites you accumulate during holiday baking). The cardamom flavor is pronounced, so use the freshest cardamom you can find. These are also perfect for gift-giving, since they'll keep practically forever, or at least 3 weeks stored airtight at room temperature.

Time 1h

Yield 5 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 1/2 cups/450 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
2 teaspoons/10 grams ground cardamom
1 teaspoon/5 grams kosher salt
14 ounces/400 grams unsalted butter (3 1/2 sticks), at room temperature
1 1/4 cups/150 grams confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
2 large egg whites
1/4 cup/20 grams sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, add the flour, cardamom and salt, and whisk to combine.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar on low speed until just combined. Add egg whites, beat until just combined, then add flour mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll one piece out into a log 3/4-inch thick. Using a bench scraper or sharp knife, cut 3-inch pieces off the log. Working with one 3-inch piece at a time, gently roll both ends so they taper slightly, then form into a crescent. Transfer to prepared baking sheet; repeat with remaining dough, placing the crescents 1-inch apart.
  • Gently press 1 almond slice into each cookie. Bake until light golden brown, 10 to 14 minutes. Cool, then dust with confectioners' sugar.

Time 1h45m

Yield about 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup walnuts
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Spread the walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake on the lower rack until toasted, 10 to 12 minutes; let cool completely. Pulse the nuts in a food processor until finely ground. Add the flour and pulse to combine; set aside.
  • Beat the butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 4 minutes. Add 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, the vanilla, cardamom and salt; beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the walnut-flour mixture until just incorporated. Cover the dough and refrigerate until slightly firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Place the remaining 1 cup confectioners' sugar in a shallow bowl; set aside. Shape tablespoonfuls of dough into thin crescents and arrange 1 inch apart on 2 unlined baking sheets.
  • Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden on the bottom, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans, then carefully transfer to the bowl of confectioners? sugar and gently roll to coat. Transfer to a rack to cool completely, then reroll in the confectioners? sugar.

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     Rolls and Buns

Time 2h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup milk
½ cup butter, softened
⅓ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
½ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 egg
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Warm the milk in a small saucepan until bubbles form at the edges; remove from heat. Mix in the butter, sugar, and salt. Let cool until lukewarm. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine milk and yeast mixtures. Stir in 1 egg. Beat in flour 1 cup at a time until dough pulls together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces, and form into rounds. Cover, and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Using a floured rolling pin, roll each dough half into a 12 inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Roll each wedge up towards the point. Bend ends inward to form crescents, and place point side down on lightly greased baking sheets. Cover, and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Brush rolls with beaten egg, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature before starting. This will ensure that the butter is easy to work with and will help the croissants rise evenly.
  • Make sure to use cold water when making the dough. This will help the dough stay firm and prevent it from becoming too sticky.
  • Be careful not to overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough and difficult to roll out.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to roll it out evenly. This will help the croissants bake evenly.
  • Brush the croissants with egg wash before baking. This will give them a golden brown color and help them rise.
  • Bake the croissants until they are golden brown and flaky. This will take about 20-25 minutes.

Conclusion:

Cardamom butter croissants are a delicious and flaky pastry that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little practice, you can make cardamom butter croissants that are just as good as the ones from your favorite bakery.
