Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 50 g fine sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 125 g vegan margarine
- 4 tbsp cold water
- 150 g ground hazelnuts
- 80 g powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp plant-based milk
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp vegan milk alternative for brushing
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, fine sugar, and salt.
Add the vegan margarine to the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, incorporate the margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough begins to hold together. Avoid over-mixing.
Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine ground hazelnuts, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, plant-based milk, and lemon zest. Stir until a smooth paste forms.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a large rectangle, approximately 3 mm thick.
Cut the dough into 12 triangles, each with a base of about 10 cm.
Place a spoonful of the nut filling at the base of each triangle. Roll up each triangle from the wide end to the narrow tip, forming a crescent shape.
Place the crescents on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the Nuss Gipfeli with vegan milk alternative for a shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow the Nuss Gipfeli to cool slightly before serving.
