Best 4 Vanille Kipferl I Recipes

VANILLEKIPFERL (AUSTRIAN VANILLA CRESCENT COOKIES)

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl and knead until thoroughly combined. Unless you're using the egg yolks the dough will be pretty dry and flaky, like shortbread cookie dough. Shape the dough into a log and wrap with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut off small pieces of the dough and shape them into crescents. Place the crescents onto a non-stick or parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake on the middle rack for 12-15 minutes (depending on the size of the crescents) or until the edges begin to turn golden.
• Combine the powdered sugar and vanilla sugar. Let the cookies sit for one minute and then use a sifter to dust them with the vanilla-powdered sugar while they're still hot. Let the cookies cool completely and then give them a second dusting.
• Stored in an airtight container in a cool place, these cookies will keep for several weeks.

VANILLEKIPFERL

Steps:

• Stir all-purpose flour, almond flour, and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar together in a bowl. Add butter and egg yolks; knead by hand until a smooth dough forms.
• Divide dough into quarters and form each piece into a rectangle. Wrap each rectangle in plastic wrap. Chill dough in the refrigerator until firm, at least 1 hour, and up to overnight.
• Place 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon white sugar in a food processor. Cut each vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape seeds from each half with the back of the knife; add to the sugar. Pulse until seeds are evenly dispersed. Pour vanilla sugar into a shallow bowl.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Cut 1 portion of dough into 6 equal pieces, keeping remaining dough chilled. Roll each piece evenly into a 1/2-inch-thick log on a lightly floured surface. Cut each log crosswise into 2-inch pieces and gently roll or pinch ends of each piece into points. Arrange cookies on the baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are lightly golden but tops are still pale, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 2 minutes.
• Roll warm cookies in the vanilla sugar, brushing off excess sugar. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough, baking in batches.

VANILLE KIPFERL II

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the size of small peas and mix in with your hands.
• Mix 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, the egg, 3 teaspoons of vanilla sugar, and ground almonds into the flour mixture. Place the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Divide the dough into several parts. Roll each section of dough into logs approximately 1/2 inch thick. Cut the logs into 1-inch pieces, and bend the pieces into a crescent shape (just like a croissant). Place the kipferl on the baking sheet and chill them for 15 minutes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Combine 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla sugar and toss to mix.
• While still warm, carefully remove kipferl from the baking sheet and dip them in sugar to coat.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 160C.
• Sieve the flour into a large bowl.
• Cut the cold butter into small pieces and rub into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add icing sugar, hazelnuts and the egg.
• To cool your hands plunge into cold water and quickly knead mixture into a dough. Chill for half an hour.
• Take a portion of dough and roll into sausages about 3cm in diametre then cut into 1cm wide discs. Then roll this into another sausage shape and form into a crescent. Place on lined biscuit tray and continue with the rest of the dough.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until very light gold in colour.
• While they are baking mix the icing sugar and the vanilla sugar. Soon as the biscuits come out of the oven roll them in the icing sugar mix. Cool on rack.
