This is a very popular Moroccan pastry in crescent shape though, it actually represents a gazelle horn. These pastries are always served at celebrations and weddings. They are filled with almond paste and flavoured with orange flower water. Here's the recipe for 16 pieces of pastry:
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups flour
2 tablespoon melted butter
2 tablespoon orange flower water
2 large egg yolks, beaten
A pinch of salt
Icing sugar
Almond paste
Almond paste:
2 cups finely ground almonds
1 cup icing sugar
2 tablespoon orange flower water
2 tablespoon melted butter
2 beaten egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions for the almond paste:
1. Combine all the ingredients for the almond paste in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
2. Divide into 16 pieces.
3. Roll each piece between your hands to make a cylinder about 7 cm long.
Directions for the pastry:
1. Combine the flour and salt.
2. Place the melted butter, orange flower water and one egg yolk in a bowl, add the flour and salt mixture. Mix, adding enough cold water to form a soft dough.
3. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until elastic.
4. Place on a floured work surface and roll out to a very thin rectangle.
5. Cut into strips 3” wide. Place a cylinder of almond paste on each strip of pastry, 1” from the edge, spacing them 3 cm apart.
6. Moisten the other side of the pastry strip and fold the strip in half to enclose the almond paste and press all around the filling to seal with a fluted pastry wheel.
7. Cut each pastry into a half circle, pushing in the right side to form a crescent.
8. Place on a greased baking sheet.
9. Brush the tops with the remaining egg yolk.
10. Bake at 350° F for 12 to 16 minutes or until lightly golden;
11. Remove from the oven. Cool and sprinkle with icing sugar to serve.
Enjoy!!
Hope this helps.
