These little buttery crescents are filled with almond paste. They were an Easter tradition started by my grandmother and continued on, now for my family. The recipe was in my grandmothers heart - when she died we thought we lost the recipe until her neighbor lady gave it to her granddaughter - who gave it to me! So now it's back in the family and the tradition lives on!

I had a hard time getting the butterhorns to rise properly. They didn't turn out as flaky as I had hoped.
