Directions:
- Pastry: For the pastry, mix together the flour and yeast in a medium bowl.
- Cut in the butter with a pastry fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Stir in the egg yolks and sour cream and mix well.
- The mixture will still be crumbly.
- Form the dough into a ball using your hands, working it as little as possible.
- The less you knead, the more tender the pastry will be.
- The dough will be tacky.
- Wrap it in waxed paper and chill it for at least 2 hours.
- Prepare the FILLING by combining the ground almonds and sugar in a small bowl.
- Beat together the egg whites and salt until stiff, but not dry, and carefully fold them into the nut mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- When the dough is thoroughly chilled, divide it into three balls.
- Using a floured rolling pin, roll out three circles about 1/8 thick.
- Work on a well-floured surface to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Cut each circle into eight pie-shaped wedges and spread the wedges with the filling.
- Starting at the wide end, roll each wedge up like a little croissant and then pull the ends into a curve to form a horn.
- Make sure the point is on the bottom so the horns will not open up while baking.
- Place the almond crescents on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for about 30- 40 min, until golden and puffed.
