Dough
250g wheat flour
30g butter
150ml water
Filling
500g peeled almonds
150g confectioner's sugar
4 tablespoons rosewater (or orange blossom water)
30g butter
Filling: In a blender, blend the almonds and confectioner's sugar until smooth
Melt the butter in a pan
Transfer the dough to a bowl and add the rosewater and melted butter
Mix well and let it rest for 15 minutes
Dough: Melt the butter in a pan. Reserve
Place the wheat flour in a bowl
Make a hole in the center of the flour
Pour in the melted butter and water
With your fingers, knead well until the dough is homogeneous
Let it rest for 15 minutes
Divide the dough into four equal parts
Form a roll with each part and cut each one into 10 pieces
You will have 40 pastry slices
Butter the hands and use a specialized rolling pin to open up the dough
Place a piece of dough on a smooth surface and roll it out to a thin disk, 5cm in diameter
Using a coffee filter turned upside down, cut out a circle from the dough
Assembly: Place one tablespoon of filling in the center of the dough circle
Fold the edges together with the tip of a fork, as if you were making a pastel
Shape the pastel into a crescent moon shape, leaving the tips very thin
Place the pastel in an oiled refractory mold
Repeat the process with the rest of the dough disks
In a preheated oven, place the mold and bake at moderate temperature for 15 minutes
Note: The biscuits should not brown or grow
Remove from the oven and let it cool
Dust with confectioner's sugar and serve.
