My best friend when I was growing up was Greek, and I fell in love with the culture and the food. This was always my favourite - thanks to Georgia for giving me the family recipe! I'm putting it here for safe keeping. Ingredients:
250 g butter (softened) |
3 tablespoons icing sugar |
1 egg yolk |
1 tablespoon brandy |
1/2 cup chopped almonds (toasted) |
2 1/2 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
2 teaspoons ground cloves |
5 -6 cups icing sugar (for dusting) |
Directions:
1. Cream butter & icing sugar until light.
2. Add egg yolk and brandy, mixing well.
3. Fold in almonds, flour, baking powder & cloves.
4. Break off small pieces of dough & shape into 'S' shapes or crescents.
5. Bake at 180 deg C for +/- 20 min until lightly golden.
6. Let them cool for 10 min, then dust with some icing sugar.
7. Store in container & dust with rest of icing sugar.
8. Tip: Seal & store for 2 days (if you can resist!) as this improves the flavour.
