For 8 portions

Ingredients

For the dough:

240 g sour cream
250 g butter (chilled)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
300 g plain flour (as needed for dough consistency)

For the filling:

Poppy seeds
Walnuts
Sugar (to taste)

For decoration:

Powdered sugar

Preparation procedure

Dough preparation: Pour the flour into a bowl and add the chilled butter cut into pieces. Work the butter into the flour with your hands until a crumbly mixture forms. Add the baking soda and sour cream to this mixture and gradually add flour until the dough has a consistency similar to ravioli dough. Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Preparing the poppy seed filling: Grind the poppy seeds and pour over a little hot water. Let them soak for 10 minutes. Then gradually add sugar to taste and mix thoroughly.
Preparing the walnut filling: Mix the ground walnuts with sugar. You can crush the nuts on a board with a rolling pin so they release more oil, which will enrich the filling with a stronger flavor.
Shaping and filling the crescents: After chilling, roll the dough out to about 1 mm thickness. Cut it into triangles, similar to when making croissants. Fill each triangle with the prepared filling (poppy seeds or walnuts) and roll them into crescent shapes.
Baking: Bake the crescents in an oven preheated to 180 °C for approximately 15 minutes. Watch them to avoid overbaking and drying out.
Finishing: Let the finished crescents cool slightly and then sprinkle them with powdered sugar.

Besides poppy seed and walnut filling you can try other variants, such as fruit jams, marmalades, chopped dried fruit or ground cinnamon with quark.
Crescents are ideal for a quick treat, because thanks to their delicious taste and crunchy texture they disappear from the table very quickly!

Enjoy your meal! 😊
